I was hoping that someone could help me date this photo.
I have attached a link to a picture of the back of it as I cannot upload photos to the forum from where I am right now.

The link to the WAF thread is where I was selling it.

The rear of the picture says 1933.

Please move thread if it is in the incorrect place.

Thanks

I cannot read all the writing but I believe that is the date of the photo 30 Jan 1933 or 38, I do not think the school opened until 1937?

I cannot make the school insignia at this resolution but the cap has 1936 insignia so must be 1938. The school at Brunswick was established in 1934.

The 1935 Führerschule Braunschweig class (course started in April) was the first class, most being formally commissioned on April 20, 1936, after being Standartenoberjunker since February 25 that year. There were a lot more than the photo shows, but most are easily recognized as they were wartime famous and/or highly decorated. I don't recognize any of them as cadets from the initial class (136 graduated). I think it shows some of the '38 class who were commissioned on April 20, 1939.
