    Stoßtrupp Adolf Hitler photo help

    Can anyone put names to these guys? I often see the photo around but always wondered if they are mostly unknown Stosstrupp members?
    In particular I'm looking for some information on Johann Schön and if he can be identified here? He was of course in the Stosstrupp and involved in the Putsch,
    Thanks!

    Jon,

    You may want to post these pics on the Axis Forum.

      Leaning on the cab in the first photo is Joseph Berchtold, and with goggles nearby, Julius Schreck. Also Schreck at center (with moustache) in second photo.

        Good photo, I actually have one of those flags on the pole complete, never bothered to look for photos.

        Cant say I recognize any of the people.

          Just complementing the subject, a fake flag for sure:

            Looks like modern fantasy doesn't it.
            I never did get positive IDs on the guys , so much knowledge is lost to time.

              Good info from Mike Miller. The photos are very poor, which relegates IDing anyone to just a guess...

                Hello,

                no mystery at all .... It´s in an online auction house in Germany (mili321) at the moment and described as a copy by the seller there.

                Nevertheless this seller often describes his items not as a copy ....


                Best Regards

                  One of them should be Walter Buch in his early life...

                    This is the first reference I've seen to Buch being a member of the Stosstrupp Adolf Hitler. I think this claim on the Wikipedia page is inaccurate.

                    Best wishes,
                    ~ Mike

                      I agree with Mike, Walter Buch was NEVER a member of the Stosstrupp. I have a copy of and original 1937 list of all living Stosstrupp members and Buch is not on it. If he was an actual member, he would certainly be on it.
