9 November 1933 March : unknown Blood Flag carrier

[FrenchVolunteer]

Hi,

during the 9 November 1933 March, three guys carried the Blood Flag : Jakob Grimminger, Rolf Reiner and a third unknown man who is not identified in period publications.

The guy is pictured below near Julius Streicher, then carrying the Blood Flag.

Anyone may help me identify this unknown guy ?

Could it be Leo Voggenauer, one of Grimminger's escorts at the 1931 Brunswick rally ?

Hi Vince,
This is not Leo Voggenauer. He is just behind Grimminger in this 1931 photo. And 3rd in line on the other photo

My guess ???

Maybe Heinrich Trambauer later in life?

Great to see BF photos on the WAF.

There was a fine essay on this in an issue of "Military Advisor" from a couple of years ago, but I can't put my hand on it just now...

Hi,

thanks guys for your reply !

@ Jon : yes the face of Leo is too different.
@ Ben : hmmm the carrier has a more "babyface", Trambauer face is more slim.
@ James : unfortunately Jeff the writer is still working on this mystery guy too.

What seemed to be interesting is that the guy is not listed in the period sources that were checked. Jakob and Rolf are listed, but not him.
Strange.

My Stanford Univ. Hoover Library NSDAP
Hauptarchiv microfilm contains testimony
that Trambauer was a drunk. So maybe
the photo shows his later fat beerface.

Hi,

ah, interesting, this is true that alcohol can transform someone visually.
It may explain the fact that the guy's name was "removed" from official reports ?
