There are indeed other Hoffmann sets of photograph prior to these. Some cover the earliest training sessions at Juterbog and some of the LAH at their barracks.
This photograph shows Dietrich wearing a field cap with cloth covered visor and green band in July 1935.
I do hope others might have dated pictures from albums or periodicals to share that can accurately chronical the introduction of the grey uniform.
