Formed in 1933, the military band of the Adolf Hitler's Bodyguard Division, the Leibstandarte-SS, was to become the most famous of all 
pre-war Musikkorps in the history of the Third Reich. In their black ceremonial uniforms and under the musical leadership of Hermann Muller-John and his deputy SS-Hauptscharführer Gustav Weissenborn, (seen on the left), German military music was performed at the very highest level by this elite and much favoured unit and performances by the superb musicians recruited to this band were very much in demand across the Reich and beyond, courtesy of a number of highly publicised and successful concert tours the band made across pre-war Europe!
The Summer and Winter Olympics of 1936, the Nuremburg Rallies, visits by foreign dignitaries, the Führer's birthday, the Musikkorps of the Leibstandarte-SS was always in full attendance, most notably in the capital city Berlin, performing a skillful and polished repetoire of the most exciting military music of the era. As well as providing combat medics, radio operators, despatch riders, stretcher-bearers and front-line infantry from within its musical ranks as the war progressed, the SS-LAH was also just one of a handful of the elite Musikkorps that were still performing right up until the end of the Second World War in May 1945...
