NSKK NSFK: A Comprehensive Guide to the Uniforms, Organisation and History of the Nazi Motor Corps and Air Corps
The NSKK (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps) and the NSFK (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps) were two paramilitary organizations that served under the Nazi regime in Germany. They were responsible for training and mobilizing motorized and airborne units for the war effort. In this article, we will explore the origins, development, structure, roles and insignia of these two corps, as well as their legacy and impact on history.
The Origins of the NSKK and the NSFK
The NSKK and the NSFK were both derived from older organizations that predated the Nazi rise to power. The NSKK was originally the SA Motor Corps (Sturmabteilung Kraftfahrstaffeln), a branch of the SA (Sturmabteilung), the Nazi Party's paramilitary wing. The SA Motor Corps was formed in 1928 to provide transportation and logistics for the SA members and leaders. It also participated in street fights and rallies against political opponents.
The NSFK was originally the DLV (Deutscher Luftsportverband), the German Air Sports Association, a civilian organization that promoted gliding and flying as recreational activities. It was founded in 1933 as a successor to the banned DLV (Deutscher Luftfahrtverband), the German Aviation Association, which had been involved in clandestine military aviation training since the end of World War I. The DLV was covertly supported by the Nazi Party and the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) as a way of circumventing the Treaty of Versailles, which prohibited Germany from having an air force.
The Development of the NSKK and the NSFK
The NSKK and the NSFK underwent several changes and expansions during the Nazi era. In 1934, the SA Motor Corps was renamed as the NSKK, and became an independent organization under the leadership of Adolf HÃhnlein, a loyal Nazi who had been a member of the party since 1922. The NSKK grew rapidly in size and scope, absorbing other motorized groups such as the Motor-HJ (Motorized Hitler Youth), the Motor-SS (Motorized SS), and the RAD-Motor (Motorized Reich Labor Service). The NSKK also established various subgroups for specialized purposes, such as the Transport Brigade Speer (for construction projects), the Transportgruppe Todt (for military engineering), and the Marine-NSKK (for naval transport).
The NSFK also changed its name and status in 1937, when it became a full-fledged branch of the Nazi Party under the command of Friedrich Christiansen, a former World War I ace who had joined the party in 1933. The NSFK expanded its activities beyond gliding and flying to include parachute training, rocketry, meteorology, and propaganda. The NSFK also absorbed other aviation-related groups such as the Flieger-HJ (Flying Hitler Youth), the Flieger-SS (Flying SS), and the Luftwaffe Auxiliary Service (Luftwaffenhelfer).
The Structure of the NSKK and the NSFK
The NSKK and the NSFK had similar organizational structures, based on territorial divisions and functional units. Both corps were divided into four levels: Gruppe (Group), Standarte (Standard), Sturmbann (Storm Unit), and Sturm (Storm). Each level had its own leader, staff, flag, and insignia. The Gruppe was equivalent to a regional district, covering several provinces or states. The Standarte was equivalent to a province or state, covering several counties or cities. The Sturmbann was equivalent to a county or city, covering several towns or villages. The Sturm was equivalent to a town or village, covering several blocks or neighborhoods.
Both corps also had various functional units that performed specific tasks or roles within their respective fields. For example, the NSKK had units such as Kraftfahr-Ersatz-Abteilung (Motor Vehicle Replacement Unit), Kraftfahr-Ausbildungs-Abteilung (Motor Vehicle Training Unit), Kraftfahr-Instandsetzungs-Abteilung (Motor Vehicle Maintenance Unit), Kraftfahr-Betriebsstoff-Abteilung (Motor Vehicle Fuel Unit), Kraftf ec8f644aee
