A photo from the funeral of Hermann Weiser (Adjutant to Meyer, Chef 2./AA LAH and later adjutant to Dietrich). Apart from the mentioned Frey and Harzer, who are the others in the photo?

the last in the left lane looks like Gustav Knittel

Tempted to say it's him but I don't think it is Knittel. he looks very different compared to other post-war pics

The guy in the photo looks uncannily like the younger Knittel in your 'avatar' Harro which I presume was taken during the war or soon after - certainly his later pictures you posted make him look too old to be the guy at the funeral ... Weiser was quite young when he died, what was the cause of death ?

Weiser died in March 1970. My first pic was taken in early 1975 and the second in late 1968. My avatar is from early 1946. "Knittel" at Weiser's funeral is definitely too big/fat compared to the other pics in which he was quite fragile due to his health problems which started in 1967. Still don't think it's him.

From the photos I see online I agree with Macher
