New Honorary Gauleiter Linder

#1

Attached here is a very interesting photo from the NARA taken in 1935. It shows Reichsleiter Frick with Gauleiter of Hessen-Nassau Jakob Sprenger with his Deputy Gauleiter Heinrich Reiner. But the real gem here is that Hessen-Nassau Ex-Gauleiter (1926-27) and Ex Deputy Gauleiter (1928-32) Karl Linder is at left wearing honorary Gauleiter collar tabs !!!!! He would replace Reiner and become the Deputy Gauleiter again in 1937. Then he went back to deputy gauleiter insignia and later on wore wartime insignia of a Befehlsleiter. So it is possible that during this period he was allowed to wear gauleiter insignia and then later was either ordered to stop wearing them or chose not to when he became an active deputy gauleiter in 1937. Strange indeed !!!

Are there any more details on his Wehrmacht service? He was involved in the battle on the Oder. However he was conscripted in 1940.

I'm 99.7% convinced that I've found Linder in Heer uniform...
