Four gentlemen

#1

Post by VJK » 30 Jan 2003, 18:39

Hi!

Can anyone please identify the 4 gentlemen standing in the front row. The Ogruf on the left looks so familiar, but I just can't place him, but the others are a complete mystery to me. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

VJK

The guy on the left might be Seyess-Inquart, did he ever get an honorary SS rank?

Yes, he held rank but did not command.

You mean the guy at the back?

Here's S-K and Rauter from: http://www.waffen-ss.nl/lstormopr-e.php

This looks more like the guy on the right (of the picture, left of the group).

The Luftwaffe general appears to be Heinz-Hellmuth von Wühlisch, Chef des Generalstabs des Wehrmachtsbefehlshabers in den Niederlanden, 1.12.42-1945. There is a picture of him with Seyss-Inquart and Rauter in Yerger's Allgemeine SS, page 151,
The Army general is Alfred-Hermann Reinhard, commanding general LXXXVIII Armeekorps, 1.7.42-31.12.44

To complete the caption for this photograph:

the naval officer (central position 2nd row) is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine in the Netherlands, Vice Admiral Gustav Kleikamp.

To recapitulate the first four, from left to right:

Arthur Seyss-Inquart (Reichs Commissioner in the Netherlands)
Heinz-Hellmuth von Wühlisch (Chief of Staff of the C-in-C of the Wehrmacht in the Netherlands)
Hans-Wolfgang Reinhard (Commanding General 88th Army Corps)
Hanns-Albin Rauter (Chief of the SS & SD in the Netherlands)

Cheers,

Hans Houterman
