  • NSKK.-Sturmmann im Stabe der Motorgruppe Hessen im Großen Dienstanzug mit Sturzhelm
  • NSKK.-Sturmführer im Stabe der Motorbootstandarte Mb1
Das Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps (NSKK, NS-Kraftfahrkorps) war eine paramilitärische Unterorganisation der NSDAP von 1931 bis 1945. NSKK wurde 1934 zur dritten NSDAP-"Kampfgliederung" neben der SA und der SS erhoben. Es fungierte bis zu seiner Auflösung 1945 als Sammelbecken für alle politisch anpassungswilligen, motorbegeisterten und im Kraftfahrwesen beruflich oder sportlich engagierten Personen und hatte mehr als 500.000 Mitglieder. Nach Adolf Hühnleins Tod im Juni 1942 übernahm Erwin Kraus als „Reichsleiter NSKK“. Das NSKK erhielt eine schwarz-braune Uniformierung.


English: Colour plate showing uniforms and insignia of the National Socialist Motor Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, abbr. NSKK), a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) from 1931 until 1945. The NSKK members trained in the operation and maintenance of automobiles, trucks and motorcycles. They soon became involved with training recruits for the Army's armoured and motorised arms and during World War II NSKK augmented Army and Luftwaffe transport assets. From 1944 it became a dedicated transport corps, but was disbanded with the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945.
  • Ceremonial Dress (full dress uniform/parade uniform) of a Sturmmann ("storm trooper"):
    • Second pattern padded crash helmet in painted black leather, with a small visor, chin strap and neck flaps (Sturzhelm; schwarzer Ledersturmhelm mit umlaufendem Ring- und Kammwulst, seitlich mit Lüftungslöchern, vorn der aufgelegte Adler 2. Modell, mit gelaschtem Lederfutter, Ohrenschutz und Kinnriemen mit Schnalle). The helmet was worn while driving an open-topped car or a motorbike, at parades, ceremonies and rallies. The helmet type was originally used by pilots under World War I, adopted by the Motor SA circa 1928 and later by the NSKK with the addition of a large metal swastika-and-eagle insignia (the Party Eagle, Parteiadler, the stylised German imperial eagle during Nazi rule with its head turned to its left wing) and the NSKK banner.
    • Brown (khaki) shirt (blouse) with turn-down collar and pleated breast pockets with scalloped button flaps and
    • Shoulder strap (epaulette) on the right shoulder with cords etc. denoting class of rank and Motorgruppe locality
    • Brown (khaki) necktie
    • Rectangular collar patches/tabs (Kragenspiegel); the right showing the number, type and locality of unit, the left containing rank insignia (see also SA collar tab and shoulder board identification guide by GermanDaggers.com)
    • NSKK eagle and swastika emblem machine-woven in white onto a cloth badge sewn to upper right sleeve
    • NSKK Qualified Driver diamond shaped sleeve badge (Raute) on left arm: On black fabric backing embroidered in silver-grey a wheel with six visible spokes, over the centre of which is superimposed a German eagle, looking right, clutching a circular wreath enclosing a swastika.
    • Nazi Party swastika armband/brassard (Kampfbinde, Hakenkreuzarmbinde) fitted around the left arm and tacked on with thread
    • Nazi Party membership badge on necktie
    • Belt with double claw open buckle and crossbelt
    • NSKK service dagger with scabbard and hanging strap (similar to that of SA, but with black scabbard, see dagger guide on Germandaggers.com)
    • Black calf-length breeches, riding pants with extra width in the thigh area (Breecheshosen, Reit- bzw. Stiefelhosen)
    • Black high jackboots (Schaftstiefeln)
etc.
  • A Sturmführer ("assault leader") in the NSKK waterway fleet
    • Visor cap (Schirmmütze für Angehörige der NSKK-Motorboot-Einheiten, marineblaues Tuch mit Besatzstreifen)
    • Tunic (Waffenrock): Open lapel cut, single-breasted service jacket, with front closure, two side pocketsand turned up cuffs. Sailors of the NSKK waterway fleet and Transportflotte Speer wore a dark blue uniform based on that of the military seamen in the Kriegsmarine|.
    • Collar patches/tabs (Kragenspiegel) with unit name and rank insignia
    • Shoulder strap on right shoulder
    • NSKK Qualified Driver diamond shaped sleeve badge (Raute) on left arm
    • Nazi Party swastika armband/brassard (Hakenkreuzarmbinde)
    • Brown shirt and black necktie

    • Belt with double claw open buckle and crossbelt
    • Marine NSKK dagger (Dienstdolch M 36 für Angehörige der NSKK-Motorbootstandarten)
    • Brown gloves
etc.

The rank system and insignia of the NSSK were based closely on those of the SA (Sturmabteilung), of which the NSKK was originally a part. The NSKK members also wore similar uniforms and insignia; the uniform of a SA member was principally a brown shirt (the members were called "brownshirts", Braunhemden), a Swastika armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde) and a kepi cap (Schaftmütze). The SA-style kepi of the NSKK had a black top and brown (khaki) sides (Steife Schaftmütze aus olivbraunem Gabardinetuch, schwarzer Mützendeckel).
