    Hi All,

    I am looking for a website that has pictures of Gestapo Uniforms (1939-1945)but google and yahoo searches haven't been very helpful.

    Any ideas?

    Maybe a leather coat and a hat? ;)

    I don't think that they would have beeen that much of a Geheime/i] (secret) Staatspolizei, if they would have had an uniform. [​IMG]

    Seriously, they worn police or SS uniforms, if any.

    Cheers,

    That's what I thought Andy. [​IMG]

    I was asking because I was in a film last week, and they gave me what I took to be an SS uniform, 'Totenkopf', Lots of silver braid, very black, big boots, Iron Cross etc. but kept refering to me as a Gestapo Officer. :rolleyes:

    figure that out.

    Thanks

    Check this for every piece of uniform you like. The Allgemeine SS are the ones you're looking for.

    Thankyou, Freidrich.

    A trot through these pages confirms that the uniform they gave me wasn't historically accurate to any particular unit. No rank insignia either.

    Sort of a generic, even stereotypical, Nazi.

    Firing the MP40 was still fun tho'

    Thanks again for the link info.

    No,'fraid not, Urgh. That will have to wait for another time. :( Would be fun tho'

    This one is called "Churchill - The Hollywood Years" and stars (Alpabetically)

    Neve Campbell
    Mackenzie Crook
    Harry Enfield
    Romany Malco
    Bob Mortimer
    Stephen Pemberton
    Steve Pemberton
    Leslie Phillips
    Vic Reeves
    Christian Slater

    It is a comedy tho', and Christian is a nice guy. (he was the only one I met)

    Look out for a badly dressed SS Officer with a bad accent at the begining of the film. That will be me. :cool:

    No, Urgh. I do some extras work, (or 'In-Vision Background Artitstes' as we call ourselves :rolleyes: ) and they were finishing the film work here.

    I just hit lucky with the speaking part and the MP40. :cool:
