The "SA-Sturm 33" was part of "SA-Standarte 1, Berlin" (Sturm = company, Standarte = regiment). It was named after its commander Hans Maikowski who got killed right after the Machtergreifung (shot on 30 January 1933, died the next day). The Standarte was also named after him. Hans Maikowski was the biggest "SA martyr" after Horst Wessel.
RECORD CONDITION E (-) Very well preserved record! Some lighter scratch marks visible, that have no impact on playback. Audio quality is 9/10, no distortion or crackle, plays stunningly great for an old 78rpm record, almost as good as vinyl sound! Comes with rare original record company sleeve!
The record can be played also with a modern turntable, which has a shellac stylus.
