Included in this picture is Ernst Rohm (far right) who was , of course, killed along with many others in the' Night of the Long Knives' in 1934 The armband of the SA man is of a type not seen after Hitler's seizure of power in 1933, and it is extremely possible that this picture was taken in the late 20's, early 30's. The men are not in uniform,and Ernst Rohm was called back from serving as an advisor to the Bolivian army in 1931. If you could see the the top of the banner , it would read 'Deutschland Erwache' or Germany awake and looked like this. http://users.skynet.be/vonweyersberg/Hakenkreuzflagge.htm Upon reflection, the banner in the centre may not be held by an SA man at all, but an SS man named Jakob Grimmager, whose job it was to parade the 'Blut Fahne', the flag smeared with the blood of the martyrs shot during the abortive Munich putsch. http://www.zweiterweltkrieg.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=5088 The 'shapes' you are referring to are actually the arms of the swastika on the white field of the banner.

The armband of the SA man is of a type not seen after Hitler’s seizure of power in 1933, and it is extremely possible that this picture was taken in the late 20’s, early 30’s. The men are not in uniform,and Ernst Rohm was called back from serving as an advisor to the Bolivian army in 1931.
