A common pic, but it shows that v. Schirach continued to wear his HJ High-Leader's visor with the HJ diamond replaced by a PL wreath. (The band is black velvet):

I agree it must be Hofer, also shown here in this picture, (which is part of the Walter Frentz collection I think?).

Sorry but could this be a "Mantel" with his awards on his shoulder ???

This photo of Hofer shows him lying down firing the rifle with his overcoat thrown over his shoulders. The badges are political "tinnies". There is another photo of him standing wearing the overcoat in the Arndt publication on the Austrian takeover.

That's a great color photo above of Hitler, Gauleiter August Eigruber of Gau Upper Danube, and a very weary looking Martin Bormann.
