Hi,
here is a pic from LIFE taken by Hugo Jaeger. Who are these admirals with Raeder? Admiral Raeder holding the baton given to him by Hitler on his appointment as Großadmiral aboard the Scharnhorst, probably in Wilhelmshaven,4 1939
Thanks.

It is remarkable that Admiral (i) is apparently not giving the Hitlergruß, but saluting in the traditional way.

If you were talking to me, the only person with a baton is naturally Raeder. I was talking of Admiral (i).
