“Hitler himself. And his super men, but all is kaput, as the german people say it. Which means all is ruined.”

Looks more like RAD than SA, doesn´t it? Great writing on the back!

Honestly I’m not 100 percent sure. I asked around elsewhere and had people say it looks SA. Hard to get an exact answer. But as far as I know it could be RAD.

I found out some info. The guy he’s shaking hands with is Konstantin Hierl (head of RAD) so you were right!

I believe it is a generic / press photo distributed en mass.. "Adolf Hitler honoring Labor Corps Leader Constantin Hierl. Hitler laid the cornerstone for a stadium built to accommodate 250,000 people. Dated September 16, 1937" nonetheless a good photo. G

At first I thought so too. But someone elsewhere showed me the same photo as you and pointed out that the photo I posted looks to be taken up close near the front row and over to the right. Instead of to the left and in the far back like this one. If you look at the both it does appear to be taken in a different, lower section than the one you’ve posted that you can find online.

Comparing the two photos, I'm looking at the dress cap of the officer on the right in both pictures; the one with it pulled down tight so you can see the top of his head.  HeartFeltZero's  photo appears to have been taken directly behind him.  Maybe by the guy to the right (arrow).  He appears to have a camera up to his eye. My two cents worth!
