I believe Geli Raubal may also be in this photo

I believe Geli Raubal may also be in this photo. See the head of hair with the marcel waves? Top-center between the 2 clinking beers? I've seen another photo that looks like it was taken on the same day, and again, Dr. Goebbels and Emil Maurice are seated at that table, and a girl who looks like Geli is about that same distance behind, wearing a dress with a white collar.

Geli, to me she just appears to be a waitress carrying two beers.

It is impossible that Geli would be in this photo as it was taken in 1937 during the annual putsch get together on November 8/9. She was already in the grave 5 years !! This is easily recognizable as it is the only time Himmler wore the special "putsch" members jacket at the annual reunions. Here is an other photo of the same event in 1937.

Thanks, Mark. I did not have a date for the photo, so I guess that settles the matter. All I can say is, that's waitress's hair looks a lot like Geli Raubal's. :)
And my, but Dr. Goebbels and Emil Maurice were aging well! :)

Can anyone date this photo for me? Ay first, I thought these were the same event, but now I'm wondering.
Does anyone know who the gentleman on the far right is? The one with folded hands, who is smiling?

The man on the far right is Walter Hewel. He was Ribbentrop's liaison officer to Hitler. He was also a member of the Original "Stosstrupp Adolf Hitler" Bodyguard and a holder of the Blood Order. The date of this photo is either the 1936 or 1937 putsch reunion. I base this on the type of collar tabs being worn by Viktor Lutze and the fact that the Stosstrupp sleeve band is being worn. The sleeve band came into being in early 1936. The tabs worn by Lutze were gone by the 1938 reunion. So it has to be either 1936 or 1937.
