Who with Röhm?

[J. Duncan]

Anyone know who man in the right is with Ernst Röhm (man in long coat and hat)?

[Mark Costa]

The man is SS Gruppenführer Rolf Reiner, obviously not in uniform.

Holy mackerel....never would have figured that out. So different in civilian attire. Thanks Mark.
Good eye.

Interesting picture
von Spreti held in the SA the same position close to Röhm, that in the SS, Karl Wolff towards Himmler

I found it looking for von Spreti images on thoma’s quiz....(I was looking for the wrong Spreti!)

[von thoma]

They certainly belong to the same family branch...

You would think right? I found your Spreti quite interesting once I had the right guy (I thought you meant “Captain” and not “Cajetan” which was his actual name - never heard of him - it was a good choice of quiz post although I was surprised nobody got it , especially magupu who posts many more obscure figures. I had no idea who that was.

Graf von Spreti was Röhm's adjutant and was present at the Pension Hanselbauer; he was hauled away to Stadelheim Prison with the other SA leaders accused of conspiracy and high treason, and he was executed there on Saturday afternoon, June 30, 1934.

Yes. He’s the most known Spreti. Von thoma had an NSDAP quiz post on another Spreti.
