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 Obergruppe (area made up of several SA districts) command flags are square and made up of four triangle fields meeting in the centre, top and bottom triangle being red and left and right triangle being white, with a silver-grey eagle emblem with wreathed swastika in the centre.
