The photos document very well his career from the HJ to NSDAP Kreisleiter. Numerous early HJ photos, taken between 1929 and 1936/1937, followed by photos showing him with the Allgemeine-SS and Waffen-SS. Some photos from his wartime service, taken in Krakau in 1939 and 1940. Among them, there are very nice portrait photos of an HJ leader, SS-Hauptsturmführer, and NSDAP district leader (Kreisleiter). Partially handwritten notes on the reverse. An excellent photo grouping!

One photo shows him walking together with Julius Streicher. Another one standing straight behind Adolf Hitler. 

Total: 139 photos

In addition handwritten notes from him about his war service in Krakau from 16.11.1939 to December 1939/January 1940. His writing is very difficult to read.
