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.

The SA Standarte Command Flag is in the form of a red square with a white centre, which features a silver-grey eagle emblem with wreathed swastika. Underneath it, but still inside the white centre, is the Standarte number in silver-grey.

Unit flags and pennants of the Motor-SA feature a thick black border. Marine-SA unit flags and pennants feature a golden-yellow fouled anchor on navy blue in the upper inner corner.
