Reichsheer on 30.01.1933
Hi everybody!
I tried to create a Rangliste of 30.01.1933 at which date AH became Reichskanzler. My intention is to show how the Reichsheer presented itself to him on this date (the basic position).
I would be extremely grateful if somebody could fill in gaps or give corrections. And I would be grateful too if somebody can let me have a pic of Gen. Lt. Hirschberg, the Inspector of Cavalry. Thank you very much in advance.
Regards

Thank you VJK for sharing your knowledge and thank you for the Hirschberg pic.
I have never heard of Mittelberger. Do you have further data? DOB, DOD, awards, RDA, ...
And you don´t have Gen. d. Art. Brandt as Artillerieführer V?

Hi Stauffenberg II !
Put it down to it being the end of a particularly stressful week at work! Of course you're right, Brandt was Artillerieführer V.
Artillerieführer VI was Genmjr. Oskar Schellbach.
I don't have any bio details on Mittelberger unfortunately, but here is his pic.
