The photo shows "Prince Wilhelm of Prussia" with fiancee. Who is he? One of the sons of Wilhelm II? What uniform is he wearing? According to Corbis the pic was taken in 1933.

He seems to be wearing the rank insignia of a Stahlhelm Bataillonsführer. See: http://www.rankinsignia.info/show.php?p ... ich&id=572
