I agree, he joined the Party at an early age. Obviously he is too young to be a WW1 vet. He wears numbers for Infantry Regiment 116 on his shoulder tabs so 1935 would be too early as this regiment was not formed until 1936. Looks like he is wearing an M35 tunic though. So 1936 -37 would be my guess when the photo was taken. Cheers, Larry -

Nice photo. I would say they are father, mother and son. The Obergefreiter could be a WW1 vet. Can't see his medal bar properly but he's wearing the KM artillery Mechanic trade specialist badge. Another GPB worn on a Heer uniform. Cheers, Larry -

Wonderful Political Leader photos also showing matched set of GPBs in wear. I see he is also wearing a 1929 Nurnberg Party Day Badge. Very nice! Cheers, Larry -

Hi Morten, Thanks for your nice comments. Please post your photo. Photos of this badge don't come up for sale very often as only the first 100,000 people to join the NSDAP received one. Here is a photo of Wilhelm Krieper (left) with his brother Rupert. Wilhelm is wearing ribbons for EK 2, Ost Medal, a Golden Party Badge, EK 1 and LW Ground Assault badge. Cheers, Larry -
Hi, Just added this nice photo to my wedding portrait collection. It shows a Political Leader, his bride and a Flower Girl. He is wearing a matched set of Golden Party Badges. This is not seen very often as wearing the complete set on a uniform was against regulations. Does anyone else have GPB in wear photos, if so please post them here. Cheers, Larry

Thanks Guys, much appreciated. Here is another series from the album. Caption says: "Vormarsch Mingsts - Briangst." I guess that translates as "Advance from Minsk to Briansk." Photos show scenes of recent fighting with burning villages, villages being bombed, vehicles and troops of Flak Rgt. 11 waiting until bombing is over before moving on. Cheers, Larry
