This toy minifigure is a representation of Ernst Röhm, the co-founder and commander of the SA (Sturmabteilung), the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. The image explicitly labels it as the “Röhm SA Uniform”. The SA were famously known as the Brownshirts.
Face and Hair:
- The figure has a molded black hairpiece, styled with a side part. The face is printed with a mustache and a stern, formal expression, which is meant to resemble Ernst Röhm.
Uniform and Insignia: He is wearing the signature brown service tunic of the SA, which is why the organization was nicknamed the “Brownshirts.”
- Armband: The most prominent insignia is on the left sleeve: the red Nazi Party armband, featuring a white circle with a black swastika (Hakenkreuz) in the center.
- Rank Insignia: On the collar, there are red collar tabs printed with gold stars. This represents the very high-rank insignia for the leader of the SA, whose title was Stabschef (Chief of Staff). A braided shoulder board is also printed on the right shoulder, further indicating his high command status.
- Equipment: The uniform includes a Sam Browne belt, which consists of a brown waist belt with a gold buckle and a black leather cross-strap worn over the right shoulder.
Trousers and Boots: The figure is wearing matching brown trousers and tall black boots.
