SA-Führerschule Dresden - Leadership Course Signature Book 1931-1934

I have recently acquired a book containing the signatures of hundreds of individuals who attended Leadership Courses at the SA-Führerschule in Dresden between 1931 and 1934. It covers Course No.3 in July 1931 and continues to Course No 27 which took place in July 1934 shortly after the 'Night of the Long Knives'. The book is very fragile caused by age and possible fire damage so I am scanning each page and numbering each signature.

This is a book of considerable historic interest and I shall be attempting to identify as many of the signatories as possible.
I am attaching the first few pages and would appreciate any contributions regarding identification of individuals and any available biographical Information relating to them (excluding , of course, the more obvious members of the SA hierarchy like Ernst Röhm.)

If this post generates sufficient interest I will continue to post the entire book as the project continues.

Hi ian,

I just discover this great topic. What a great historical book! I shall try to add some names tonight.

But first; are you sure this book is from Dresden?
The last page with the drawing says Reichsführerschule. I thought the schools in Dresden and Wien just called Führerschule der OSAF. I thought München was the only Reichsführerschule.

Best,
Laurens

Hi Laurens
I am only going on the description of the book when I acquired it so I don't actually know for sure. Perhaps it is from the Reichsführerschule at München. To be honest it would make more sense. However there are other drawings to come which may give more clues and possibly confirm your suggestion.

I agree that this book is of extreme historical importance. I have identified quite a few individuals who were very important members of the SA.

As you can see Hucks and Georges are being extremely helpful with identification of various signatories. I will be posting the results on a page by page basis for further analysis when all those who wish to, have made their contributions.

Any help you can give would ne very welcome. I can tell you that there are some VERY interesting SA members coming up.
Many thanks
Ian
