SS with bayonets

[jwh44]

Hello
Could you identify the unit of this SS group ?
I think it is an early photo because they use WWI 98/05 bayonets and 84/98.
Thanks
Alain

Merci Romaric

The number on the collar tab is not 2 but a number with 2 digits. It is very difficult to make out on the photo but it may be 10, 16 or something like that.
Best regards

Well the guy sitting on the left appears to have a big 2 on his collar patch ( on my screen), so it should be the early period tab for SS-Oberabschnitt Südwest instead for Germania ( later period ). Taking that in mind it would be approx. period 1934 (?) and Politische Bereitschaften going to early Verfügungstruppen. Perfect picture by the way!

Best,

Seth.

What a cool picture! It's like you'd expect to find it on one of these soldier's facebooks or something.
