Well at last here's what I have. After feeling sorry for Joe and taking pity on him I've managed to sort out what I have on a very young Officer Cadet.
The three albums belonged to a "Karl Hühnlein", he was born 10 May 1900, and was a member of the Royal Bavarian Corps of Cadets from 1913 to 1917. He was listed in the Verzeichnis Ehem. K.B. Kadettenkorps, issues of December 1955 and June 1969. In both, he was a Rechtsanwalt (Attorney) living in Bad Tölz, at Amorplatz in 1955, and Marktstrasse 57 in 1969. 1955 he listed himself as "Leutnant aD" but 1969 has "Hauptmann aD." As a Cadet Corps member, presumably a "regular" for the Leutnant part, but commissioned charakterisiert after the war on discharge and so not listed in the Ehren Rangliste. The "Hauptmann" part must either have been zV or dR zV in WW2. He was certainly a nephew of NSKK Korpsführer Adolf Hühnlein.
The albums are small at only 4"x4" and contain 49 photo's from his time as an NCO in Officer training at Metz in 1917. The interesting part of the photos is the mix of uniforms shown at this date and the fact that Pickelhaubes are being worn. There are a few pictures of officers that I've been able to tract down the identity of as well.
Here goes then ..... I'll post a few pics at a time.
I believe Karl is the guy on the extreme left in this shot.
The next three shots show the putting together of a very old looking field gun. Practice makes perfect I think. Take a look at the mix of uniform periods here .... remember this was 1917 !!!!
I'll post more later

Gus getting dressed up for his avatar. Again notice the mix and match of the uniforms.
