That is definately not Ritter v. Epp, but is Reich Minister of Science and Education Bernard Rust. Daluege however (on left) is correct.

Sorry Duncab, is this said unter the photo? Rust looks in my mind but this may depend on the fact that my pictures of Rust date to the early thirties.

Thanks mate, yeah I should have realised it wasn't Hans Frank as he was never a big man. But I sure didn't think for a moment it could have been Robert Ley either so many thanks for your keen eye.

So assuming Bernhard Rust is in the photograph we have just one name left to find...

The NSKK officer at the head of the group is Joseph Seydel.

In the second photo showing the Feldherrnhalle one can see NSKK-Obergruppenführer Offermann over Ley's right shoulder and behind him NSKK-Obergruppenführer Nikolaus Eiden wearing the NSKK wartime visor cap. Erwin Kraus can be seen also in the background between Daluege and Amann. I have a high resolution copy of this photo so I can see these details.

Before Hitler arrived at the funeral ceremony, the honor guard consisted of low ranking men. For the actual ceremony with Hitler and rest of the leaders in attendance, higher ranking leaders took their place. In the photo where Hitler is saluting the coffin, on the right side of the photo is NSKK Obergruppenfuhrer August Prohl, behind him is Gauleiter August Eigruber and Gauleiter Hartmann Lauterbacher. I believe the HJ Obergebietsfuhrer is Kurt Petter who was standing at the back of the other row. The high ranking honor guard also marched with the coffin to the cemetary.

In the response to the question as to who the SS Oberfurher behind Hitler is while leaving, is Hans Rattenhuber.

My God, you're amazing! Thanks for the fast reply Mark! :)

Maybe Otto Günsche behind Rattenhuber?
