Hello Forum members,
My first post on this excellent Forum will be an ID question.
On the front cover of Birn's paperback edition of "Die höheren SS- und Polizeiführer" appears two SS-Generals.Who are they?

Thanks

hi and welcome to the forum. from what i can see it appears that the SS general on the far right is an SS Obergruppenführer but the man in the middle i cannot quite make out his collar patches. could ya maybe post a closer photo of the insignia or if you can tell me what rank this man in the middle is.

there are many great experts on here (max, phil and michael) who im sure will help in their identification. i have this little niggling feeling though that the man in the centre looks similar to SS Obergruppenführer Werner Best. Man on the right i would have a stab at maybe Prützmann? hopefully more people will comment
