Summary[edit]

Description
English: Door with two signs, with Gestapo and Der Kommandeur der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD. Sonderkommando Svolvär in Blackletter typeface, as well as information texts about the local Gestapo office in Svolvær. The white wooden door leads into the "Gestapo room" of the Lofoten War Memorial Museum, a room displaying items connected to the Secret Police of Nazi Germany in German-occupied Norway during World War II.

Nazi Party and SS Eagle emblem of early design: The eagle and wreathed swastika emblem on the door shows a design introduced in 1929 as a cap badge for the kepis of the SA and SS instead of the Reichskokarde. This sharp-winged eagle version of the SS Hoheitsabzeichen was replaced with a new, larger SS eagle in the summer of 1936. The Nazi National Eagle was a stylized German imperial eagle (Reichsadler) with horisontally spread wings, standing on a swastika within a wreath. In 1935 the party eagle (Parteiadler) was declared a national emblem as well; allthough designed in numerous versions and variants, the beak on the 'Nazi Party eagle' usually pointed towards the viewer's right hand side.

Photo taken on May 8, 2019 at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway. The museum exhibits uniforms, militaria, memorabilia, smaller items, etc. related to World War II, the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945, and the Third Reich era.
