Hi
Thank you very much!

Is the Luftwaffe officer in the LIFE pic the same as that Luftwaffe officer?

Hi,
This is my new finding. The source is on the pic.
There are 3 Heer officers and a Luftwaffe officer behind Keitel.
There are also 3 unknown Japan officers on the right of the pic.
I think the Luftwaffe officer is Hptm Erich von Selle.

Hi ttvon,I am away from my research documents,at a guess the Obstlt with Keitel is possibly Winter who served in the Zentral-Abtlg. in the OKW.
Harmel

[ttvon]

Hi,
Which one is the Obstlt?
Look at those pics, the 4 officers behind Keitel are all lower than Major.
