Hi! Can anyone identify either of these two? I have an idea who the senior officer might be, but I'm not sure. The junior officer may be his adjutant. Thanks for any responses.
The photo is most likely to have been taken about 1935 or 1936.

I take it you are referring to the photos of Kaul and adjutant, as the Dietrich photo is pre-Spring '42?

This photo was taken in April 1942 when SS-StuG.Abt."LSSAH" was being built up. Max Wünsche was its commander, Dr Rabe its IVb and so on ...

Dietrich is wearing 1st pattern SS-Obergruppenführer collar insignia which was replaced in Spring 1942 (possibly February 1942).

Yes, Max. I am refering to the Kaul photo, because Xolotl who posted this image, wrote years 1935-36.
