Max, thanks again for the picture. I have this one as well but of much poorer quality. From what I gather, the Untersturmführer on the right would be a certain 'Lassman' (can't seem to find him anywhere though, and it can't be Erich Lachmann who was just a Scharführer in Sobibor. Any clues about a Lassman ?

On 2-6-1944 he and 10 men of his unit were on the way to Trieste and at a certain point they drove into an ambush from Italian partisans. He got wounded on both his legs and he got several shots in the head(most likely a classical case from partisans who were finishing of a wounded target).

Lassmann
The man on the right is Ustuf Jurgen Lassmann (SS # 297-443). He headed the research center ("Forschungsstelle") at the Aktion Reinhard Lublin headquarters. Probably in charge of development, planning and statistics.
