Unknown Generals

#1

Does anyone recognise any of these? The General at the back resembles von Seekt and the civilian in boots is a double for Wolfram Sievers, but I doubt it.
Thanks,
Max.

The tall thin general at the back may be Generalmajor Friedrich Heyl, the officer on the right may be Oberst Dipl.Ing. Hans Henrici. The central general is tricky...We have a saying 'I can't see the forest because the trees are in the way'. I know the face. I have 2 possibles One is Viktor Linnarz & the other is Ernst Faeckenstedt (EDIT: Lack of DKiG may count him out).

To follow on the gentleman in the suit on the right looks like Fritz Hippler of the Propaganda Ministry. May well not be, but the resembence is striking.

I don't think so....his hair is parted on the other side.
Thanks anyway,

This circled general looks very much Model.

Gareth,
Could it be that this photo is pre-war or very early in the war? Therefore, no DKiG.

Photo is wartime (note that the General wears the Kriegsverdienstkreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern).

Man in civvies certainly does bear a strong resemblance to Wolfram Sievers (and to Hippler, though more to Sievers).

Definately wartime, from 1941 upwards as Heyl was promoted GenMaj in 1941 and one identity I am sure of is the Heyl one. No one else looks like him. The Henrici ID is good too I believe. Makes me deduce this is in Munich around 1941-1942 & an inspection by Rüstung staff, possible at an armaments factory or damage by air raid.

And the gentleman circled certainly isn't Walther Model.
