    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.

    Members of the Motor-SA wore driver qualification badge on the lower left sleeve. It was introduced in 1931. The insignia is in the form of a black cloth diamond with a silver-coloured metal spoked wheel, with a superimposed political eagle emblem.
    The Motor-SA was absorbed into the NSKK by August of 1934.
