Military service in SA regiment "Feldherrnhalle."
27 October 1938
It was announced that conscripted SA men and Hitler Youths can fulfill their military conscription in the SA Regiment "Feldherrnhalle" whose commander is General Field Marshall SA Obergruppenfuehrer Goering. The regiment for the first time was employed as Regiment of the Luftwaffe in the occupation of the Sudetenland under its Fuehrer and Regimental commander SA Gruppenfuehrer Reimann.
Only volunteers within the ages of 18 to 25 who obligated themselves to three years' service after at least a half year membership to the SA or one year Hitler Youth membership were employed. In public and in parades the members of the regiment wear the brown SA uniform with two shoulder boards and the Luftwaffe insignia of sovereignty, in field service and on ma-euvers they wear the aviation gray with the arm band of the regiment Feldherrnhalle. The headquarters of the Regimental staff is in Berlin W8, Voss street 1.
