I am not sure of the uniform but I know he had something to do with the German Red Cross.

He was head of the German Red Cross during the TR.

Hope this helps.

didn`t we say in another thread that it is some kind of a Stahlhelm Bundesführer uniform...?

Hi Thanks for info & links guys, it's the collar tabs which are throwing me, never seen them before, seen him in his SA and military uniforms but not this.
