[Friedrich-Berthold]

A marvelous image FB, thanks for posting. Any idea of the date?

I pinched this image from elsewhere. I have a theory about the date, but tell me your guess and I will tell you mine.

Here is an earlier image courtesy of my friend David Bunde, whose photographs are world renowned.

April the 17th, 1937, 11.37am.

April the 17th, 1937, 11.37am.

Not bad, but mine would be ca. nine months earlier, but who knows?

[BenVK]

Care to explain your reasoning? I'm sure you've seen something in the photo of particular note.

I was going to say late 36 but none have coats and it looks like a rather warm day.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

I guess the time of year is warm, to be sure, but my impression of an earlier date derives from the fact that most of the caps are fairly flat in appearance, assuming that the saddle shaped cap (Saris) appeared in 1936. But I do not know, really.
Also, the army eagle was an affect in the SSVT in the years 1934/5, and, in fact, gave rise to the so called 1936 Hoheitszeichen, which was designed and contracted in the year 1935.
In any case, it is a nice image with a lack of uniformity.

That is one hundred and forty-four eyes...but dare I say it, none as keen as yours.

Always a pleasure FB, thank you again.
