I'm very sorry that I have to disappoint you, but none of the generals mentioned are available. My main source for the generals is the book series "Die Generale des Heeres 1921-1945" (hrsg. von Dermot Bradley). They're stuck at the letter "K" at the moment, so beyond that it will be a lot harder to find suitable pictures. But you can always try...

Regards,

Hans

Great picture. Do you have any information on him after his duty at Kuban Bridgehead, ie., where did he go? Was he in Poland during 1944?
