Gauleiters
Re: Gauleiters
I would like to know the significance of the badge, bars and patch in the picture. Gottlieb Gröner was said to be a Gauleiter, but is not on any list.

Re: Gauleiters
hello,
not a Gauleiter but a Kreisleiter der NSDAP
he was Kreisleiter for the Kreis Neresheim (Württemberg).
He was too executive manager of a newspaper.
Collar badge is an Edelweiß (which refer to some mountain unit 14/18 ?)

Re: Gauleiters
Thank you. So the patch signifies Kreisleiter?
Is there a list of these?

No the uniform shown is a WWI army unit uniform and has nothing to do with the NSDAP uniforms.

Re: Gauleiters
NO, the patch on the left arm shows an early machine gun. Guess he was deloyed in a machine gun platoon of a mountain unit then.JoyM wrote:Thank you. So the patch signifies Kreisleiter?

Re: Gauleiters
Would there be a later picture of Gottlieb Groner, Kreisleiter, available to be posted?
Re: Gauleiters
Here is a rare photo of Josef Bürckel in the uniform with the Gauleiter collar tabs. Usually he did not wear them. It is only the 2nd photo of him which is known to me.

Re: Gauleiters
Actually photos of Bürckel wearing Gauleiter tabs are quite numerous from the late 1933 early 1934 period. I have several in my collection. It is after 1935 that he stopped wearing them.

Re: Gauleiters
Except for that one you shared with me for Gauleiter Vol. I, showing B. wearing Gauleiter tabs and talking to Seyss-Inquart in 1938.
