Re: Question 12
Ok, here is a little clue:
this man is chiefly known for one march he composed that starts with a "L".

Re: Question 12
Max Hempel?
Re: Question 12
Yes, you are correct!
This is Max Hempel who served in several military bands from 1895 till 1944!
Quite a long time, isn't it?
He composed the Laridah-Marsch but also a lot more, less known today:
Bayrisch blau, Blancarlos-Marsch, Dr- Heissl-Marsch, Eva-Marsch, Fortuna-Marsch, General-Bergmann-Marsch, Hurrah-Marsch, von-Hösslin-Marsch, Major Krampf, MAN-Marsch, Oberst-Nissl-Marsch.
There are probably many more I think.

Question 13
Hitler shakes hands with...?
This excellent photo was taken on Hitler's 46. birthday and the "mysterious man" died 10 months later. He was a famous composer (and conductor).

Re: Question 13
This is Georg Fürst
And yes, the photograph is great. The landscape seems to be, at least for me, a little unusual, stark..
I am going to post a topic with his biography in English so that most people can read it.

Question 14
My question for tonight:
For what reason were many SS choirs in 1933 and military choirs in general later in the NS regime composed of "old" men? When I say old I mean 35-45 years old.

Re: Question 14
Hi Robb,
Yes, of course. I had forgotten my question in fact.
Well, the question is easy. There is no trap!
Members of these choirs belonged to the military and were soldiers when the war broke out. For which obvious reason should the military replace the younger members with older men?
I can't say more! You don't need to know about military music to answer.

Re: Question 14
Hi Sdt,
I would say all the younger men were called up for active military duty, especially as the war progressed and German losses escalated.

Re: Question 14
Hi Robb,
Yes, you are correct. Musicians were soldiers and were called up for duty. They could be replaced by men from the reserve army, older.
Your turn!
