His profession is listed as Politischer Referent  “ Political Advisor/ Officer” Acting as a German equivalent of a Commissar  He resided in Kapellen in Antwerp Belgium! Looking at the photo although in black and white it appears the piping could be that of the  Südwest Gruppe . The book is filled with “due stamps” from 1937 until 1942. There are also “ReichPartie tag” stamps for 1937 & 1938. These were entered into the book when attending the rallies. This extremely desirable book rarely surfaces to the market. We were lucky enough to secure it to pass on history

Here is more information on his profession…..A Politischer Referent (Political Officer) in the SA during the early 1930s was responsible for ensuring ideological conformity and political education within the ranks. Their role centered on spreading National Socialist ideology—promoting loyalty to Hitler, antisemitism, anti-communism, and nationalist principles—through lectures, propaganda materials, and organized events. They also oversaw party rituals and commemorations, serving as the political conscience of the unit rather than a field commander. These officers acted as liaisons between the SA and the NSDAP’s political leadership, reporting on the morale and ideological reliability of members. Though not part of the chain of command, they held significant influence due to their ties to party authorities. After the SA’s decline following the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, many Politische Referenten continued similar functions within the Nazi Party apparatus, helping to maintain control and enforce orthodoxy across other organizations.
