Identification of SA leaders - Group photos at the Reichsführerschule der SA

[Michael Miller]

The U.S. National Archives (NARA) website recently posted many group photos showing graduates of instructional courses (Lehrgänge) at the Reichsführerschule der SA in München. This thread is to aid in identification of lesser-known SA, SS, and NSKK leaders who appear in those photos.

To begin: These are the graduates of 7. Lehrgang at the Reichsführerschule der SA in München (06.12.1931-19.12.1931).
Seeking identifications for most of the men pictured.

With thanks in advance,

The "First aid" from me, Mike.

16. Heinrich Philippi SA-Staf.
27. Heinrich Soest SA-Brif.
31. Kurt Kaergel SA-Brif.
33. Eduard Schmeer SA-Staf. (not Friedrich)
34. Kurt von Barisani NSKK-Ogruf. (Wrong ID).

...and wihout number SA-Staf. and HJ-Obergebietsführer Dr.phil. Georg Usadel (attached).

Best regards,

Andrey.

[Michael Miller]

Outstanding work, Andrey, and thanks for catching the un-numbered Usadel.

Gratefully,
~ Mike

[Mark Costa]

I have to disagree with 34 as being Barisani. Although they look similiar, the ears, eyebrows, receding hairline are are all wrong. Review the comparison below. Major differences.

[Michael Miller]

Agree, Mark, and Barisani appears to have a cleft chin whereas the mystery officer does not.
Both Austrian but different men.

Mike and Mark, I was wrong, sorry...
Here's another photo for comparison - different people. Austria confused me)

No 33 should be Eduard Schmeer and not Friedrich.

Hello to all

The microfilm roll 073 of the NARA series T-581 (NSDAP Hauptarchiv) supports that the 7.Kurs an der RFS took place from 9.November to 29.November.1931. This is the first page of the list of attendants

7.Kurs_1.jpg

The photo posted by Michael shows the attendants to a Lehrgang by the Reichspropaganda-Abteilung II that took place at the RFS from 7.December to 18.December.1931. This is the list of Teilnehmer (that includes almost all the names already listed) from the same source

Hope the names make easier to put them to faces.

#23 Otto Sommer
#29 Friedrich Möhring

[Michael Miller]

Thank you, Laurens. Your SA expertise is always appreciated.

The moustache threw me off on Fenz, but yes- unmistakably him (right down to the Baltenkreuz and Schlesischer Adler).

Great work, everyone.

Best wishes,
