It is not Waldeck. This man is police general and he looks like Carl Retzlaff. Far left is Karl Scharizer.

Great photos, as always, Todd! It's interesting to see, in note #3804, that both Konrad Henlein, leader of the SdP, and his deputy, Karl Hermann Frank, attended the 1938 Putsch Commemoration in Munich. Neither of these two Czech leaders were recipients of the Blood Order, and the SdP had only merged with the NSDAP four days earlier, on November 5, 1938. And Henlein himself did not join the NSDAP until January of 1939. Interesting, too, to see Karl Frank styled as "Dr. Frank" in the photo caption -- while it's possible that Frank may have received an honorary doctorate at some point in his past, he had been a law student in 1917/18 but dropped out of university after his first year of study.

As further to my last entry on this thread, I note that Konrad Henlein's entry first appears in the DALs as of October 9, 1938, when he is listed as an SS-Gruppenführer on the Staff of the RFSS (honorary), while Karl Hermann Frank first appears as of the DAL of January 30, 1942 as an SS-Gruppenführer "Höh. SS-Pol. F. Böhmen-Mähren." And according to the Patzwall list of Honorary AH Golden Party Badge recipients, both men received their GPBs as part of the list dated January 30, 1939, where Henlein appears as NSDAP Member Number 6600001 and Frank as NSDAP Member Number 6600002.
