Hmm. I have never encountered the

Eyes-Right-Left-Buttock-Rubbing salute

before.

The generic rain jackets and soft caps could be either early Stahlhelm or NSDAP... can you get any insignia at all on caps or collars?

I suspect the former rather than the latter because they're not wearing armbands.

They aren't NSDAP...............but look who's in the audience!

This is a shot from that famous 'German Day' parade (1922, I think......I don't have my books to hand).

Numerous right-wing groups paraded past Ludendorff, Hitler et. al.
