NSKK Late Style Tabs Used

[Mark Costa]

In 1944 the SA adopted new collar tabs for those holding General ranks. The new tabs mirrored the 1942 SS tabs in that the rank of Obergruppenführer now had TWO pips instead of just one. Over the years it has been conjectured as to whether the NSKK adopted such collar tabs? Attached is a photo taken in 1945 showing Gauleiter Albert Hoffmann. Lo and behold the NSKK Obergruppenführer behind him is wearing the 1944 style! This proves once and for all, that the NSKK DID indeed adopt the new style along with the SA !
Attached is also a photo of some of the late 1944 tabs in my collection.
