    SS Officer photo.

    Hi, I have this, it shows an SS officer, with NSDAP gold pin, EKII ribbon, EKI and wound badge. Who is the soldier in the photo ? What means the writings in the reverse ? The paper is Agfa, i think it is post war, maybe 1950s or 1960s, do you confirm ? Thanks.

    Hi

    His glasses remind me of Karl Gebhardt.

      The text:

      "Meinem lieben Obersten Esch in alter Treue.

      Wer hält die Welt aufrecht? Ihr Karl G. Daers"

        I found an Obrst named Esch. To him could have been dedicated the photo.

            Thank you !
            Do you know the meaning of the reverse text ?
            Is the foto of Karl G. Daers gifted by him (maybe not, he died in 1948, i don ' t know the date of the photo, maybe gifted by one his kamerad) to Albin Esch ?
            Which is the rank of the soldier in photo ?
            Thanks.

              The rank is "Hauptsturmführer" equal to "Hauptmann" or "Captain"

                The photo is dedicated by Daers to Esch.

                The text: " Wer hält die Welt aufrecht?" - "...Who holds up the world ?..."
