Does anyone know the man on the picture sitting next to AH?

What kind of uniform is that? SA? What is the badge he is wearing?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi! I believe that is Franz Seldte, the first Bundesführer of the Stahlhelm/Band der Frontsoldaten. The badge is that of the Stahlhelm Bundesstern which was worn as shown: on the front of the cross-strap of the Sam Browne belt. Seldte and a closeup of the Bundesstern are pictured in the source listed below.

Regards,
Shawn

Thanks Shawn!!

I went through some more images of Franz Seldte in various books and I am sure that you are correct, this is indeed him. However, I do not have the book, you are talking about, althopugh it seems as very interesting research tool. I will look through some auction sites, perhaps I find it somewhere... :)

Best Regards,

Clara
