Hi,

Has someone a pic of SS-Gruf Fitzhum in the uniform of SS-Gruf and as HSSPF Albanien ?

Here one pic of him, identified as him (to be confirm) in the uniform of SS-Brif :

regards,

Durer

I have my doubts. This is not Fitzthum !!
Fitzthum was promoted to SS-Brigadeführer and Generalmajor der Waffen-SS on 30.10.1943, and three days later (03.11.1943) he became Beauftragter des RFSS beim Bevollmächtigten des Deutschen Reiches in Albanien.

BUT :
we see in the center Generalfeldmarschall Model, and Model was never in Albania.
I see no resemblance to Fitzthum.

But who are the two to identify?

Oberstab

In my opinion, we have :
- on the left : Oswald Pohl, SS-Ogruf (to be confirmed)
- then, Generalfelmarschall Model,
- then, an SS-Brigadeführer (not Fitzhum according to Oberstab ; BUT who is this man ?),
- then Himmler.

My question is related to the SS-Brigadef. to be identified. Who ?

thank you et rgds,

Durer

It looks like Dr.-Ing. Hans Kammler to me.

Best,

And yes, without doubt that is Pohl at far left.

I would be interested if anyone can hazard a guess at the location
where the photo was taken and potential date.

With Pohl and Kammler both from WVHA, unlikely to be a KZ with Model as a visitor - but what about a Truppenübungsplatz?

According to Mollo's Uniforms Of The SS Collected Edition the pic is taken 12.1.44 during the inspection of Handschar Division.

However he identifields Brigaf. as Fizhum :?

Another suggestion:
Model was z.b.V. im Führerhauptquartier 09.01.1944 - 31.01.1944

This would explain a lot!

Great pic, Fitzthum was then Polizeivizeprasident Wien and as SS Oberführer attached to SD Hauptamt (like most of the Polizeiverwalter unpaid member of the SS : ehrenmitarbeiter der SD des RFSS).
