Paul R Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks for posting that great portrait. I like the sonderfuhrer style shoulder boards. IT looks as if he were a pilot,which would have given him a light blue waffenfarbe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryT Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The Strauss family, from Danzig (c. 1935) Great photos guys. I especially like photos showing "schmiss" (duelling scars) which were worn with pride. Cheers, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Oldulf, Thank you for sharing these photos with us. Do you know anything about Lt Strauss and his involvement later, during the war? I wonder if the significant scars on his face were due to WW1 participation?

Odulf Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Alas Paul, no context.... According to the authentic tekst on the back of the photo, the family lived in Danzig. Danzig, between 1919 and 1939 was an independent City-State (with much German resentment), but little coherent information has been published about the Danzig connetions with the NSDAP and preparations for the re-unifiction with the Reich. As Larry observed, he must have been a university student, with a preference for the noble sport of swords. The family name is to common for identification....

They are student associations. The duells were not part of a sporting activity, but a matter of honor and a ritual of "belonging" to a certain circle of academia. These duells were called Mensur (singular) and were highly ritualised and often bloody as can be seen on a photo from my collection taken in 1927 after such an event with all involved.
