Please see attached photograph showing Adolf Hitler in very jovial mood, sharing a humorous moment with an admirer who seems to have rushed the barrier to speak with him. Keeping a protective eye on the situation, but maintaining a respectful distance from the lady, is an SS mann, wearing not a service dagger, but a bayonet.

Was this practice common with the full dress uniform? Maybe someone can date the photograph from the Fuhrer's style of cap, which displays Adler only.
