I'm afraid so, Phil. I know a number of the names, but, like you, can't put names to faces. Are you sure the names all appear in the photo? Your list of ranks does not comply with the photo (i.e. there aren't that many SS-Sbf. in the photo).
Good luck!

Have no books/photos with me at the moment to confirm, but I believe the Sturmbannführer seated next to Strauch is Willi Seibert.

Best,

Can't agree with you there Mike. I know Seibert very well and that's not him.

Oh well / What the Hell.

Thanks for the disidentification, in any case.

But I'd bet a kidney or two that I guessed right on von Alvensleben:o)

The list of names is taken from the course list which is what the photo shows. There were three courses and each had a similar photo. I could be that some were not yet wearing the correct rank badges. As this is an official booklet issued by the German and Italien Government jointly I think we should trust it

I agree. No question it is correct, but it's possible the photo was edited to fit the page as is the case in many publications. That's the reason one sometimes sees people in the caption who do not appear in the related photo!

Does anyone have info about Kurt Loba thats in the picture ?

I only know that he was SS-Obersturmbannführer and worked in RSHA (June 1943).

Chrish,
The problem with this picture is that there are only 35 people in the photo (37 if you include the 2 at the very back) and Phil lists in excess of 40 names. Apparently the caption states all these names are in the photo, but they obviously are not (probably through picture editing). The only one that has been positively identified is Strauch.
