Description

Two very nice photo albums of the organization "Österreichische Legion" (Austrian Legion). The Austrian Legion was a paramilitary unit recruited from Austrian National Socialists who had fled to the German Reich, formed in 1933. Its members, mostly SA men, were initially trained and armed in various Bavarian camps and were intended for a possible German invasion of Austria. It you want, it was the Austrian wing of the NSDAP.

Album I comes with 131 period time photos. It shows members of the legion in training camps, high ranking SA and SS members, funerals of dead Legion members, a nice photo of an SA Service dagger and parades.

Album II consists of 188 period time photos. It shows members of the legion in training camps, parades, a Pour lé Merite winner, Reichsparteitag 1935, a funeral of an SA man, sports activities, high ranking SA leaders as well as three photos of Adolf Hitler.

Good condition.

A rare unit, hard to find!
