A. Exner, 1929
The boxer is unidentified, but the photographer was A. Exner for this 1929 item.
The boxer is Hans Suren, a German army officer who was head of the Reichswehr's physical training school from 1919 to 1924, much of which was done in the nude. This is an illustration from one of the numerous books and pamphlets he wrote in the 20's and 30's, which were hugely popular and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Aryan superiority was the not-so-subtle subtext of much of his writing, and he was an early and ardent Nazi. He was kicked out of the party in 1941 for public masturbation, and after the war, lived in obscurity, dying in 1972 at the age of 87. Several of his publications are always available on ebay. de. Have a look.
In einer Zeit politischer Spaltung und Unruhen in Deutschland waren selbst FKK- und Sportorganisationen politisch gespalten. Surén wie ein williger Opportunist, der Wahnsinn des Nationalismus macht die Menschen blind für die Realität, war sehr schwerwiegende Folgen hat. (“)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information, AK. Too bad he was a Nazi.
DeleteThat's quite the trim on that bush. I'm not sure I've seen this from the era.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
