DESCRIPTION: Here is a real rarity. An original period doll in the attire of an SA”Sturmabteilung” trooper. This little guy (Hans) is about one foot high.  His clothing is completely original and handmade. The trousers made of cotton, have about 4 tiny moth holes. The shirt is in perfect shape. The little swastika armband is a bit short in the back. The family who owned the doll didn’t wish to discard it after the war but the armband was removed at that time. (Of course!) The owner had two dolls like this one. The other one was a bit smaller in stature. In any case the armbands were hidden away and only recently the one that Hans is wearing was rediscovered found in the pages of a book. The problem, although slight, was the armband for our Hans was missing but the one for the other doll (Fritz) who was given away back in the 60’s was there so the folks put the shorter armband on the doll we bought and it looks fine although a bit short in the back. The arms are movable, the belt and boots and cross strap are of leather. The head revolves. His little blue eyed countenance is what would be expected of a fine young Aryan youngster. He is the miniature personification of the people of the ‘Bewegung” (movement). Sometimes various SA headquarters in a district would have a showcase that mounted on a wall or sat in the vestibule of the building and in these cases would be found various articles that were meaningful to the ‘Sturm” (unit) -- a little SA man like this would fit perfectly in such a display as these dolls were not playthings. They were exhibited items for sure. Tiny uniforms were made and given to tots and pictures were snapped of these little boys who proudly posed with the SA ranks for special photos for propaganda purposes and sometimes just for amusement value. Many of these little guys got to be photographed with the SA leadership and often with the Fuhrer himself. The SA were an especially tough and hardy lot but also had a sense of humor and charm and this doll summoned up those feelings as practically nothing else does. We show an SA dagger next to ‘Hans” for viewer perspective.
