Request for Identification of SS-officers

[von thoma]

And can anyone recognize the SS-Standartenführer ?

I would say Hilmar Wäckerle

Thank you von Thoma

Corax,
if you provide a better scan with a detail of his face, it might be easier...I doubt that this man is Wäckerle.

Can anyone tell me name of this SS-Standartenführer? In my opinion it was very unusual that high ranking SS leader is making a photo of A.Hitler.

Indeed, is not Hilmar Wäckerle, he leaves Dachau in 1933, this picture is later ...

I have my doubts as well. The reason is that Wäckerle was Kdt of KL Dachau for only a few months in 1933, and to my knowledge SS had black uniforms then, and to me his collartab looks like the late version of SS-Standartenführer. And was Wäckerle even SS-Staf when he was Kdt of Dachau?

Best regards

Hello Michal!
He is also Bürgermeister of Innsbruck. It is SS-Staf. Edmund Christoph.
Best,

Andrey.

Gentlemen, i was wondering if any of you could help me ID the individual at far left in this photo? I see Fegelein is walking beside Himmler, but i'm unsure of who the guy to the left is. In advance, thank you for your time!

Kurt Knoblauch

It's Knoblauch.

[Rudolf Souval]

Max, thank you very much, i really do appreciate it!

[Michal78]

Thanks Andrey for ID of Christoph...I would never guess that it is him.

Here is another picture of Kurt Knoblauch, Himmler and Fegelein used as a book cover.
Probably taken on the same occasion.

Could be the police officer behind the group Fritz Freitag ?

Gentlemen, again a BIG thanks! You guys are extremely good!

As i get it, Knoblauch at the time these photos were taken, was attached to the Kommandostab RFSS?
