History

The SA (Sturmabteilung, storm detachment) was established in 1921 as a paramilitary protection squad of the NSDAP. The members of the SA were tasked with protecting party leaders at political rallies and meetings from the paramilitary forces of the opposing political factions. The SA was first utilised on November 4, 1921 at a meeting held in Munich’s "Hofbräuhaus" beer hall. The organisation was banned after the failed putsch in 1923 and was reactivated in February 1925.

The SA Breeches were worn by Officer ranks with the SA Service Tunic. The riding breeches are high-waisted, have flared thighs, and short legs. There is a flapped pocket on each hip and a small inset watch pocket on the right side of the fly. The trousers have a five button close that is concealed with a flap.
