Final Pattern SA Uniforms (1934-1945)
A slight alteration to the rank and insignia system of the SA occurred in July 1934, after the Night of the Long Knives when Victor Lutze did away with Röhm's special insignia for the rank of Stabschef and instead adopted a collar patch in the much the same design as that of Reichsführer-SS, a rank which Heinrich Himmler now held.

Famous quotes containing the words final, pattern and/or uniforms:
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp.... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“I place these numbed wrists to the pane
watching white uniforms whisk over
him in the tube-kept
prison
fear what they will do in experiment”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
