Gerhard Roßbach

Gerhard Roßbach (28 February 1893 – 30 August 1967), also spelled Rossbach, was a German ''Freikorps'' leader and nationalist political activist during the interwar period. Born in Kehrberg, Pomerania, he gained prominence for his involvement in various right-wing paramilitary groups following World War I. He is generally credited with inventing the brown uniforms of the Nazi Party after supplying surplus tropical khaki shirts to early troops of the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA). Provided by Wikipedia
