Footnote: Allach porcelain (AKA Porzellan Manufaktur Allach) was produced in Germany between 1935 and 1945. After its first year of operation, the enterprise taken over by the SS in 1936, using forced labour, provided by the Dachau concentration camp. It was under the direct control of Heinrich Himmler and was one of the SS's first industrial enterprises. The emphasis was on decorative ceramics: objects d'art for the Nazi regime. The company logo included stylized SS runes. Sometimes in place of the company name, the pottery markings mentioned the SS: "DES  - WIRTSCHAFTS - VERWALTUNGSHAUPTAMTES". The majority of items produced at Allach as collectibles bolstered Nazi ideology, by presenting idealized representations of peasants, historical figures and rural themes. (C:45)
