K.H.Frank, v. Oelhafen, usw.
Magnificent picture (as always, VJK)!
Polizei General at far right is SS-Gruf.u.Gen.Lt.d.Pol. Otto von Oelhafen (confirmed by viewing photos- including another left-side profile shot- from his SS personnel file at NARA).
At far left is indeed "Kah-Hah" (Karl-Hermann Frank).
Will do my best to ID SS-Oberf. at center- can probably do so, relying largely on visible awards. If I don't come up with his name, I'll go insane- so please stand by.
Best wishes,
~ Mike / ABR

Scherner
EXCELLENT, Glenn!
Yes, it surely is. Photo in Yerger's "Allgemeine-SS" isn't too clear, but this officer resembles him. And wears the Blutorden, which Scherner held (as well as EK II and Verwundetenabzeichen).
Thank you!

Glass Eye
According to Nikolaus von Preradovich in "Österreichs höhere SS-Führer", he was totally blind in his right eye following an accident in his childhood and indeed wore a glass eye.

Another clue
Another clue to the identity of the General ranker was, apart from the SS runes below the pocket the Polizei badghe on the sleeve - just thought I would point it out!
