Kriegsmarine Conductor of II MAA, Wilhelmshaven

[HMVSCF]

Hello all

Can anyone recognize this conductor? Photo was taken between 1936 and 1938 in Wilhelmshaven,

after the return of light cruiser Leipzig from the Spanish civil war.

Can this man be Obermusikmeister Wilhelm Welge?

(I know only that he conducted the band in 1934)

Thanks in advance,

Ivan
