Officers with Hitler......??
Officers with Hitler......??
Hi Guys,
I am trying to id these two German officers. I went through several books and references and still I am not able to find their names. I know that 66 is Major and 67 is a Colonel, but who are they?
Also, on this first picture; could you tell me who are the men with Hitler (I do recognize Goring - large person on Hitler's right - and von Blomberg).
Thanks, and Happy New Year!!!!

I am not so sure about that.
He likes much "larger" than the attached pictures of Lucht (they almost don't look like the same person either). Let me know what you all think.

Hi!
I would agree with Gareth, especially if you are definite about the purpose of this gathering.
This picture seems to have been taken before von Blomberg got his promotion to Field Marshall (20 April 1936).
Could it be possible, btw, that Wever stands just behind Göring? Moreover, the second officer is almost certainly Alfred Keller, at the time a colonel (until the 01/04/36 which agrees with my guess concerning the date of this pic).
