Photographs of SS-Standartenfuhrer Paul Blobel in uniform

#1

Does anyone have any photographs of SS-Standartenfuhrer Paul Blobel wearing his SS uniform they could please post on the forum?

I have never seen a photograph of this man in uniform and in fact the only 2 photos I have seen are from the Nuremberg Trials in 1947.

Hope someone can help.

Best regards,

Both these photos are well known. Now what would be something is if anyone has a photo of him as SS-Standartenführer or SS-O'Stubaf. I have never seen one.

Yes that is what I was looking for Max. Sorry for not making my initial request clear.

I have been researching him for nearly 10 years and have never seen him in field grey, never seen him in a group and never seen him in 1914/18 military uniform.

Hi,

Maybe should we ask someone who has been searching for more than 10 years? :lol:

I've been searching for more than ten years and.....wait, that's not right.
The book "Masters of Death, the einsatzgruppen and the invention of the Holocaust"
has some pictures of him. The book goes into quite some detail about his activities and how he got sick of what he was doing, Heydrich told him that he had a tummy issue and to cure him, Heydrich started to have Blobel exhume and burn many of the vicims of the einsatzgruppen to cover up the murders.

All the best!

The book "Masters of Death, the einsatzgruppen and the invention of the Holocaust" has some pictures of him.
My copy has the usual single photo in Allg-SS uniform (shown up above).

the book says that
"Heydrich told him that he had a tummy issue"

I have yet to see any evidence that he met Heydrich to receive orders for the obliteration of the mass graves, maybe Max can advise us on this one, I doubt it personally, "Gestapo" Mueller seems far more likely.
