Summary[edit]

Description
English: Organisationsbuch der N.S.D.A.P., 5th edition of the official Nazi Party (NSDAP) handbook about the party’s organization, paramilitary structure, emblems, uniforms, etc., published in Nazi Germany (The Third Reich) 1938:
  • Plate 39. Motorcylist uniform of the National Socialist Motor Corps' (German: Tafel 39. Uniformen des NSKK. (Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps)
    • Oberscharführer ("senior squad leader") of the NSKK in driving suit / coverall (German: Oberscharführer im Lehrsturm der Motorstandarte 86 im Überanzug
      • Second pattern padded crash helmet (Sturzhelm) in painted black leather, with a small visor, chin strap and neck flaps. 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.
      • Goggles
      • Rectangular collar patches/tabs (Kragenspiegel); the right showing the number, type and locality of unit, the left containing rank insignia. See "SA Collar Tab and Shoulder Board Identification Guide" at GermanDaggers.com.
      • NSKK qualified driver's badge (NSKK-Kraftfahrraute): On black backing in white 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 (the Party Eagle, Parteiadler, the stylised German imperial eagle during Nazi rule with its head turned to its left wing). The Raute emblem was worn as a diamond shaped cloth sleeve badge on the left forearm of the tunics of those NSKK personel who were qualified drivers.
      • Nazi Party swastika armband/brassard (Hakenkreuzarmbinde, Kampfbinde) fitted around the left arm
      • Belt with double claw open buckle and crossbelt
      • Black gloves
      • German: Überanzug mit Sturzhelm; schwarzer Ledersturmhelm mit umlaufendem Ring- und Kammwust, seitlich mit Lüftungslöchern, vorn der aufgelegte Adler, mit gelaschtem Lederfutter, Ohrenschutz und Kinnriemen mit Schnalle)
The National Socialist Motor Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps,NSKK), was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party in Germany 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 German Army's armoured and motorised arms and during World War II NSKK augmented Army and Air Force transport assets. From 1944 it became a dedicated transport corps, but was disbanded with the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945.
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
