Need help to Identify Photos

Can anyone help with these? One looks like von Manstein. Isn't that Eicke, the CO of Totenkopf?

Not von Manstein.

But yes, man in first photo is Eicke (further confirmed by the filename of the image :)

I added the file name. I thought it was right.

Not von Manstein? It sure looks like him to me.

Sorry, I see no resemblance between the General in your photo and Erich von Manstein.

I could be (and often am) wrong, but I don't think so this time.

How about 198 Infanterie Division commander General Roettig?

I don't know who is this general, but here's him again
with officers from (SS-)Polizei-Division (battle for Luga, VIII 1941):

I think Allmendinger might be the same man as the one in your photo, Ivan, but I don't think it's a match to the one in Gerst's photo.

Mike, you're surprising me;
this is the same man 100% -everything matches

...and I don't think it's Allmendinger...

I think that they are both the same man and that it may be Badinski.

FWIW..............JC

Best of luck, gentlemen!

And you're right, Ivan- man in Gerst's photo matches man in yours.

Not Manstein in any case.
