Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken in the "Gestapo room/office" at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Misc. German World War II uniform items and equipment used by the Schutzstaffel (SS) of the Nazi Party NSDAP, etc.:
    • Nazi Germany State Service Flag (Reichsdienstflagge) was used from 7 November 1935, to be used on all public service buildings, German state railways, the Reichsautobahn and Reichsbank authorities. A smaller version was also permitted for display on service vehicles.
    • Portrait photo and the damaged uniform cap of Siegfried Wolfgang Fehmer, SS-Hauptsturmführer and Gestapo leader in Oslo from February 1945:
      • The cap is claimed to have belonged to Siegfried Fehmer. As a member of Abteilung IV in Oslo Fehmer wore an SS uniform with Sicherheitsdienst badges, and apparently he made a dashing figure walking around Oslo with his german shepherd by his side.
    • NSDAP flagpole topper (decorative finial) with a Nazi style Reichsadler (German imperial eagle) and a swastika
    • Cufflinks with swastikas, belonged to Josef Terboven, Reichskommissar in German occupied Norway
    • German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) Lebensborn printed on textile as emblem of the SS-initiated, state-supported Nazi association for helping mostly unmarried mothers giving birth to 'racially pure' Aryan children at maternity homes
    • Cloth patch with the SS bolts runic insignia (doppelte Siegrunen)
    • High-fronted peaked visor cap (Schirmmütze) of the SS (Schutzstaffel).
      • SS style silver Hoheitszeichen/Hoheitsadler, SS' version of the Nazi Germany imperial eagle, the German national emblem featuring an art deco Reichsadler with expanded wings clutching a swastika inside a circular oak wreath
      • SS' silver skull and crossbones/death's head (Totenkopf) cap insignia, adopted from the Totenkopfhusaren, the 5th Hussar/Life-Guard Cavalry Regiment of Prussia
      • Officer's chin strap cord in silver
      • Piping around the cap crown and cap band in corps colour (Waffenfarbe, white for 'Infantry')
    • Two SS honour daggers (SS-Ehrendolch), with the SS slogan ("Meine Ehre heißt Treue", "My honour is loyalty") etched on the blade. The dagger on the wall was awarded to a Norwegian volunteer serving as a soldier in the Waffen-SS who buried the dagger to hide it after the war.
    • S. E. A. M. Taschenpistole (Fabrica de Armas S.E.A.M. ), semi-automatic cal. 6.35mm pocket pistol belonged to Gestapo officer Gross in Svolvær, Norway, with holster
