Heres Another Unknown General ( In A Very Flash Looking Uniform)... Shame Not A Full Length Shot

.Does Anyone Have Any More Photographs Of Him ???

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,

Thanks

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

Hello guys!

The well-known photo published in some period books and magazines. GFM v. Brauchitsch visits the Oberrhein front line.

From L. to R.: v. Brauchitsch, Schmidt, Dollmann, Kurt Adam (Future GM), Wäger, Böhme and..?

Can you help me with the far right general and confirmation for others?

Hi Ruslan,looks like GM Fischer von Weikersthal as Chief of Staff to Dollmann as Cmdr 7th Army.

Harmel

Alex is right, AOK 7 for sure.

From left v Brauchitsch, Halder, Dollmann AOK 7, x, would say Walter Friedrich 212 ID (timing off a little as he was replaced by Endres on 15.09.39 but then he was in Führer Reserve), Fischer v Weikerstahl CdS AOK 7 and of course the roly poly Walter Eckstein PiFü AOK 7


Cheers
Elwyn

[Ruslan M]

Great work guys!

Elwyn,

This is not Halder but Hans Schmidt (260 I.D.). Also agree on Weikerstahl, shape of the ears for him and not for Böhme. As for the man in the helmet, my initial version was Kurt Adam (Ia XXV.AK), but now I'm not sure that his shoulder board shows Oberstleutnant rank, likely Oberleutnant?

Best wishes
