History


The SA (Sturmabteilung, storm detachment) was established in 1921 as a paramilitary protection squad of the NSDAP. The members of the SA were tasked with protecting party leaders at political rallies and meetings from the paramilitary forces of the opposing political factions. The SA was first utilised on November 4, 1921 at a meeting held in Munich’s "Hofbräuhaus" beer hall. The organisation was banned after the failed putsch in 1923 and was reactivated in February 1925.

SA Gruppe (district) command flags are rectangular, with a red field on the upper and left side and a white field on the lower and right side, diagonally bordering each other. The red field contains a white triangle, which in turn features a silver-grey eagle emblem with wreathed swastika, while the white field features the district's name in silver-grey Gothic letters.
