You have to wonder "where are they now" , or what fate befell them...... for example were the brides made widows .... pretty hard hitting question when you look at the potential happiness had it not been for the war.
A very good selection, cheers Cam.
The badge worn by the TK guy is the badge of the SA rally at Braunschweig 1931,2nd pattern I believe,it commemorated the 1931 Sa rally for more than 100,000 SA &SS members at Brunswick and was given official recognition on 6th November 1936 as a national award of the NSDAP.

Does anyone know who the HJ RKT is? That is a VERY interesting portrait.
The kid in the Saharina is another good shot.
