Does anyone recognize this man? He seems to have been associated with Streicher and Liebel. He is wearing a strange set of unknown collar tabs. They may be some sort of Retired Gauleiter tabs or an early version of the some sort of Gaurichter tabs. He looks familiar but I can't come up with a name. Thanks.

Easler:

Many thanks, I think that's our man here. As he was the Gaurichter I believe these are early party court collar tabs that must have been abolished later on in 1936.

Gradl was an early Hauptamtsleiter der NSDAP. His HAL d. NSDAP rank was within the Reichsschatzmeisterei. Also, he was promoted to Reichsoberrevisor by Schwarz in April 1934 during Schwarz's mass Reichsoberrevisoren und Reichsrevisroen promotions.

A few years ago I posted a photo of the Reichshauptamtsleiter below hoping for an ID without success. I recently found a photo of the same man in a 1935 issue of Illustrieter Beobachter, this time with a last name GRADL. But the only person whom I have any info on is Georg Gradl who we ID'd in the initial posting of this thread. Obviously these two men are not the same person. BUT it is interesting that forum member PITINO actually posted information above that seems to be related to this GRADL and NOT GEORG GRADL as he intended.

Georges Jerome posted all of Georg Gradl's information above and nowhere does he mention anything about the Reichsleitung nor anything about the Reichsschatzmeisterei or being a Reichsoberrevisor. But PITINO does and it matches our new "mystery" Gradl. Obviously this other Gradl was a Hauptamtsleiter per the photo of him here in that uniform -- also the other photo show him as a Reichsresvisor matching the info that PITINO posted. And this Gradl can also be seen in photos with Reichsleiter Schwarz confirming his association with the Reichsschatzmeister office.

But there also seems to be a connection between the two Gradl's -- Georg was associated with the Gau Franken in several capacities including a Gaurichter. This other Gradl was also a member of the Reichsparteitage Committee for the Nuremberg Rallies.

First does anyone know the first name of this "other" GRADL??

Could there be TWO GEORG GRADL's ?? And is this why there are two different ranks and service information that do not match as posted by PITINO AND GEORGES ??

As both men have a connection to the Gau Franken -- could they be related somehow -- brothers ??

Hopefully someone will know or PITINO can give us more sources for his earlier information that he thought was for GEORG GRADL.

Thanks.

I have now found proof that we have TWO GEORG GRADL's -- one in the Reichsleitung and the other in Gau Franken who was a member of the Reichstag and wore glasses. While the GAU Georg Gradl was in Franken in 1935 as a Gauricher the other was a Reichsrevisoren in Munich in the Reichs Treasurers office.

In 1939 GAU Georg was stationed in Munich as a Vorsitzender Aufsichtsrat der Witwen und Waisenkasse (Widows and Orphans Fund). REICHS Georg was the Reichsschatzmeisters representative/auditor for Gau Württemberg-Hohenzollern.

This explains why there is so much confusion in ranks titles and positions -- TWO GEORG GRADL's.
