The guy in the Forestry/ DJ mix uniform is not Hermann Goering, but his right hand and the "brain" of the DJ / german hunting association Oberstjaegermeister Ullrich Scherping.
The collar insignia clearly shows that it is Scherping - this Staffleader rank to the Reichsjaegermeister hold only one person during TR period.
Nice photograph with the Thuringia lion (Thüringer Löwe), worn in front of the hat by forestry personnel and officials. This is as ordered by the Thüringisches Finanzminsterium, according the dress-regulations for the service dress and the dress called Walduniform, from November 21, 1933. The lion is from brass and 3.0 cm high. At the left side of the hat the cockade for Thuringia should be worn. In the order nothing is said about "private".
Mentioned were: Thüringische Forstverwaltungsbeamten, Thüringische Forstbetriebsbeamten und Forstwarte. The use of the lion was abolished in August 22, 1935 as when the NSDAP eagle had to be worn (Bekleidungsvorschrift für die Thüringischen Staatsforstbeamten).
