Some kind of trip. Eugen is at the far left.
Eugen, still with SS-VT Germania, maybe photographed during the invasion of Poland.
Maybe made on the same day as the above photo.

The wedding of Eugen Offtermatt and his wife!
Same event as the above photo.
Here is a close up of the wedding photo of Eugen and his wife.
It looks likes she is also wearing a badge!
Is there someone who could tell me which awards are included in the ribbon bar?
Also, it really looks like he is wearing two ribbons.
Again a photo of Eugen Offtermatt.
