Thanks Max... do you know why there wasn`t any titel on the armband?

[Max Williams]

The cufftitle was a solid silver band with a thin black stripe 2mm from the top and bottom. It was authorized for wear by the RFSS, Hauptamtchefs, Amtchefs, RFSS Chief Adjutants, F.X. Schwarz and W. Buch.

Hello,

I remember seeing one on Joachim von Ribbentrop while he was wearing his black A-SS Uniform (Ehrenführer) and on Martin Bormann's grey Uniform (Ehrenführer). Did Juluis Schaub wear one? Didn't Ehrenführer have a slight variation of the solid silver cuffband with black thread in the center?

Best,

James

I've seen one on Dr. Werner Best at Høvelte

Hello!
A well known Heinrich Hoffmann picture from a meeting at FHQu "Wolfsschanze". Horthy is greeted by the top brass: Von Ribbentrop, GFM Keitel and RL Martin Bormann. Bormann is dressed in his SS uniform and displays the quested cuff-title (plain silver woven band).
He is wearing the SS uniform as per rule the 'inhabitants' of a Führerhauptquartier were asked to use a military dress as a FHQ was considered as military premises.

Who is the SS-Sturmbannführer in the back line at the right? He looks (to me) like Dr. Karl Brandt, is possible him?

[Michal78]

It is Karl Brandt and next to him is Walter Hewel (partially hidden behind M.Bormann)

[Martinski]

little correction:
It is SS-Obersturmbannführer Dr. Karl Brandt (SS-Ostubaf. rank visible in the picture)

PS1:
Onlooker standing separately to the left of the group is Generalmajor Rudolf Schmundt (Chefadjutant der Wehrmacht beim Führer und Obersten Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht).
Between Von Ribbentrop and GFM Keitel is NSKK-Gruf. Albert Bormann (the younger brother of RL Martin Bormann), personal Adjutant of Hitler.
Next to Albert Bormann stands Kapitän zur See Karl-Jesko von Puttkamer (aka "Puma"), Adjutant der Wehrmacht (Kriegsmarine) beim Führer und Obersten Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht

PS2: Any idea who is the SS-Stubaf. (???) 2nd row between Keitel and Bormann ???

Hello Martin,

I think between Wilhelm Keitel and Martin Bormann is Fritz Darges.
