Is this man in the SA?
Best regards
Re: Is this man in the SA?
Presumably a member of the so called Nationalsozialistisches Reiterkorps.
Reiter-SA, rank "Sturmmann".
Unfortunately, the right collar patch is not recognizable in the photo, on the collar patch was the number of the unit at the time.
Edit: Correction, my above statement probably wrong, it was not always the unit visible on the right "Kragenspiegel".

Reiter-SA, rank "Sturmmann".
Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationals ... eiterkorpsNational Socialist Rider Corps (NSRK), since 1936 the comprehensive designation of all mounted units of the Nazi combat organizations within the NSDAP. It formally comprised the Reiter-SA, the Reiter-HJ and the Reiter-SS, which, however, acted autonomously within the NSRK. The NSRK existed between March 1936 and May 1945.
