A view of Marienplatz, Munich on May 1st 1933

A member of the 1st SS-Standarte and members of the NSBO are seen in this photo with the Altes Rathaus in the background.

 

The 1st SS-Standarte was a regimental command of the Allgemeine-SS and one of the most important units in the General-SS order of battle. The unit was formed on 1 August 1928. It was reorganized from previous Schutzstaffel (SS) units, known as SS-Gaus. Based in Munich, the 1st SS Standarte was charged with protection of top NSDAP leaders, including Adolf Hitler.

 

A view of the silversmith Carl Weishaupt can also be seen to the right and this building, Marienplatz No. 29, was badly damaged by an air raid and demolished in 1945.
