Hi Freddiefro, you have posted some amazing photo's here. I'm especially interested and pleased you have posted some of Loeper as I have items from his estate. I have a challenge for you next time you are able at NARA, to find a photo of him wearing his blood order medal. If you do, or anyone does, I'm prepared to compensate your time!freddiefro wrote:Gauleiters Kube and Loeper (source: NARA)

Re: Gauleiters
Sorry, I don't have a photo of him wearing his Blutorden (Nr.47). If I find one, I will send it to you. Here is another photo of Gauleiter Wilhelm Friedrich Loeper. (Source: NARA)

Re: Gauleiters
Thanks Fred I had not seen that one. The only image I have of his Blutorden is this one, on his funeral pillow.

Re: Gauleiters
This is the only photo I know of which shows Gauleiter Loeper, sitting behind Reichsleiter Bouhler, wearing his blood order at the 1934 RPT.

Re: Gauleiters
Thanks Mark, that certainly does look like him. Excellent the first time I have seen the blood order worn by him. Gives me hope that further images from the 1934 rally may expose a better angle of his front. I wonder do you or another member have the Illustrierter Beobachter Reichsparteitag Nürnberg 1934 edition , might be worth checking?

Re: Gauleiters
Manfred,
what an outstanding photo of Loeper. Many thanks for sharing. Who are SA generals next to Lutze?

Re: Gauleiters
Hi Michal,
nice that this pic is useful to you.
SA-Gruf. between Loeper and Lutze is Adolf Kob, and Andrey is right, because the man behind Lutze is Erich Reimann. The SA-Brif. left of Loeper is Heinrich Gerlach, from 02.08.1934 until 03.01.1936 leader (m.d.F.b.) of SA-Brigade 39 (Anhalt), HQ Dessau.
Best,
Manfred

Re: Gauleiters
Manfred, thank you for posting this picture, it is excellent and just what I needed, been looking for 7 or 8 years for such a photo of Loeper wearing his blood order!
