Thomas has a very recognizable face once you learn who he is. I haven’t seen too many photos of him but there’s usually a slight smile.


This one is probably easy although I just learned about this person recently (photo from AHF thread)

Yes it is. Correct Anas. Please post an entry.
In keeping with what Max said a panel or two back, if you don’t have time to hunt for a more difficult ID or unique photo, an easy, obvious one will suffice to keep the quiz going😉

Sorry, but that image does not look anything like Bouhler other than rank insignia and spectacles. Too chubby in the face and with a moustache? He had facial hair in his youth. Come on. Even the hair looks wrong. I can't accept that without further evidence. Maybe the camera is lying, but I'm going to take a lot more convincing. Whilst Klagges is a long shot as he looks too young, it does resemble him more than Bouhler. Or is it just my eyes?
Max.

Sorry, but that is a split second of a movie newsreel film where one person on this forum has suggested (in his opinion) that it is Bouhler. I don't call that positive identification. Looking at the film clip, I still have serious doubts and remain sceptical that is Bouhler.
Anyway, if a blurred still image is all we have, we could discuss this until the cows come home. Let's move on.
Max.

An addition ;

Features SS-Allgemeine shoulder boards, and a SS High Command ( Hauptamt Chefs ) cuff band.
In 1944, Klagges had 53 years old, and Bouhler 45. Bushy hair and nose also point to him.
Next to him, it's Staatsminister und Chef der Präsidialkanzlei des Führers, Dr. Otto Meissner
