Minifigure – German SS formal dress officer from the World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This image displays a toy minifigure representing a German SS formal dress officer from the World War II era.

The figure is depicted in the iconic black M32 service uniform of the SS (Schutzstaffel). This uniform was the standard formal and parade dress for the SS before the war, and it continued to be used for formal, ceremonial, and office duties throughout the war. It is one of the most infamous and recognizable uniforms of the Third Reich.

The figure’s uniform is highly detailed, showing a white shirt and black tie under the black tunic, with silver piping on the collar. He is clearly identified as a member of the SS by the SS Sig runes on his right collar tab and the red Nazi Party armband with a black swastika on his left arm.

He is shown as a highly decorated officer, wearing the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross at his neck and the Iron Cross First Class on his breast pocket, indicating significant military service. The main image shows him holding a goblet or champagne glass, fitting the “formal dress” context of a social function or mess dinner.

Historical Background: The SS (Schutzstaffel) was the massive paramilitary organization commanded by Heinrich Himmler. It was a key instrument of terror for the Nazi regime, responsible for state security (through the Gestapo and SD) and for carrying out the Holocaust. Its combat arm, the Waffen-SS, was an elite military force. An officer like this would have been a high-ranking member of this powerful and brutal organization.
