Great pieces, one and all, and a plus for any Elastolin or Lineol collection! As to the three personality figures -- and all three are rare -- I would say that the one with all the medals is Hermann Göring in his early SA uniform, not Baldur von Schirach.
Many thanks for sharing these with us,

I know what you mean, the head looks like Göring somehow especially from the profile. But he has a HJ Armband.

Thanks, skalp, but I don't think that's an HJ brassard; I think it's the unique style of armband that Göring wore in the very early 1930s when he was also closely involved with the SA as well as being a Political Leader. The figure shows a large set of military awards, which Göring had in plenty and which Schirach had none of since he was far too young to participate in WWI; and this figure also appears to be wearing a Blue Max at the neck, which Göring also proudly wore and, since the last awards of the Pour le Merite were made during WWI, Schirach had no chance of ever receiving.
Great figures, one and all!

Br. James you are absolutely correct. I was to focused on the brassard. Now looking closer at the medals there is the blue max and many others. Thanks a lot Br.James
