First of all, thanks to Dieter for his help with Erich SCHUMANN.
Here I have two more pictures from old files to be identified.

This is Hubertus v Aulock. It came from Camp Clinton, POW camp in Georgia (?) here in the States. I wrote them an email well over 10 years ago and they were so nice and gave me a copy of some of the POWs.

Cheers

Thanks In Advance

Id: Gen. d. Pi. Otto Förster

Sorry Elwyn, you are wrong with Weyer. Not Weyer according to the decorations. The officer is wearing a rare cross of the Grand Duchy of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach (the white one). I have only a few active officers in my list who received it (Frhr. v. Boineburg-Lengsfeld, Eckstein, Förster, v. Goeckel, v. Hartmann, v. Hippel, v. Knobelsdorff, Laux, Roese, Rüdel, Schmidt [Kurt], Starke, Zünckel).

According to the decorations it is Gen. d. Pi. Otto Förster, relieved from his army corps command in the winter crisis 1941/1942 by OKW.

The pic obviously was taken in the time frame Oct. 1939 - May. 1940.

Hi,

I agree with Jürgen - here is another pic of Otto Förster as confirmation.

Very best regards,

Valdis

[Jeremy Dixon]

Who is this please I can't make out the name?

Thanks

[VJK]

Hi,

It's Adolf von Schell - the writing has no bearing on the identity.

Very best regards,

VJK

Jürgen,

The following from 1914 Rangliste gave no useful information. (Nor did the 1926 Ehrenrangliste) The ordensspange shows EK2, HHOmX, Saxe Weimar Eisenach Weißen Falken 1or 2 Abt, Saxe Meiningen Ehrenkreuz für Verdienst im Krieg, hanseatic hamburg Kreuz? ... then the usuals.... Then as you said, the Ernst Wilhelm Kriegskreuz. So whom you id'ed as Förster clearly served with some Thuringen State outfit.

Yes, I have some shoddy pics of Föster with a lone Ernst Wilhlem Kreuz. And yes, I now notice that he was born in Ilmenau which to me could have be Timbuktu. It's indeed in Thüringen.

My original premise was not based on this newly acquired knowledge but on 2 pics of your Förster standing behind List circa 35 to 38. Actually I had issues with VJK's commonly accepted pic was in fact Föster at all. So I thought Weyer as Kmdr 14 ID was a better bet with List's WK IV than Föster's Inspk d Pi u Festung.

Indeed Förster now is a wiser choice. But I await better pics of Weyer.

Cheers
Elwyn
