look like heinrich Himmler at the back 2nd on right.
Thanks I think your right !
Any idea if these were mass produced or if it's an original photo ? No print marks other hen handing writing at top of date and year...is this hard to find at all?
no idea sorry.
That is not Himmler (and no SS man anyway, for that matter).
An interesting array of ties. Short/long/wide/narrow. Obviously little continuity in the SA in 1933?

By the way, there is only one SA man in this group (second from left); all others are NSDAP political leaders.
had a closer look, HPL is correct not HHimmler.
What are the sleeve diamonds worn on the upper arm area?

“The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” - Winston Churchill
There were several different types of black sleeve diamonds worn by PL's on the left upper arm, for example, a sleeve diamond with a "party eagle" device for Amtswalter or a series of sleeve diamonds bearing shields with county colors for leaders of parliamentary factions etc.
The sleeve diamond seen in this photograph appears to be the one for Stabsleiter, which bore a black Swastika on a white circle within a red one which was in turn surrounded by a silver border. (The design resembled a stylized party badge.)
These sleeve diamonds were worn for a short time around 1933, first on their own and then together with the Swastika brassard until they were abolished altogether.
