Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I don't think your first pic is of Leyser, although there is a definite resemblance.

1. Leyser was promoted Generalmajor on 1 Feb 1941, received the RK on 18 Sep 1941 - he would have had time to change his collar tabs (unless the RK was added to an older photo, which is not unusual)
2. Your pic shows him wearing the DKiG - he was awarded that only on 14 Apr 1943 by which time he was a General der Infanterie

This of course raises the question - who is he?

Best regards,

VJK

VJK : You're right, these are two different person - but with the same surname "Leyser".
Pic 1: Hans-Georg Leyser, KC 03.05.1942 (Oberst, Kdr. IR 51);
Pic 2: Ernst von Leyser, KC 18.09.1941 ( Gen.Maj., Kdr. 269.ID).
