Lucky me, got these photos from a member of the Transport-Standarte (later Brigade ) Speer.
Not enough that nice uniform shots of this small organisation within the NSKK are hard to find, I got some excellent photos of a " Berichterstatter" - a Reporter.

1.)

Photo in the known uniform between 1942 and 1944.
Visor-Hat with NSKK insignia, shoulder-boards worn on both sides (opposed to the NSKK), NSKK arm eagle and the black collar tabs with the metal device "Sp" for Speer.
PLUS - the rare cuff-title "Berichterstatter", which I haven't seen so far in many years of collecting photos.



2.)

Something in between the change of uniform style in 1944 (as seen in photo 3.)
NO arm eagle worn anymore, eagle on the visor-hat changed to army-style.



3.)

Finally the 1944 version of the units of the Transportbrigade Speer which were attached to army units.
Army breast-eagle now being worn, stylized "Sp" collar tabs. Army like visor hat.



While looking at the visor hat, I had a strange feeling about the eagle on photo 2.
Look closely - that is still the same hat as worn on photo 1 - BUT the NSKK bandeau on the eagle has been removed to make it more look like army eagles.



What a wonderful set of educational uniform photos.
Very happy with them.

Kind regards
Robert

The cap wreath in all of the photos seems to be more 'pointed' toward the top than any wreaths I can recall.

I had some of these collar tabs and shoulder boards years ago and sold them to Ron Manion for his own collection. These are very rare.

Hi, I like very much your pics. Very nice!
Number 3 is Transportkorps Speer 1944/45. There was many Führer and Unterführer wo was Berichtstatter, they works for "Deutsche Kraftfahrt", "der NSKK Mann" and other newpapers.
Here a cap, many mens don't like it
