Hi, does anyone know who is the Hungarian general with Viktor von Schwedler?

Hi, does anyone knows the Hungarian generals behind Miklos Horthy and Walther von Brauchitsch? The picture was taken in September 1941.

The general in the front row, to the right of von Brauchitsch, is Colonel-General Lajos Keresztes-Fischer, who was Adjutant-General and chief military aide to Admiral Horthy.

Great! Thank you AJK. Is that Ferenc Szombathelyi with hand on the hip?

[AJK]

I don't think so. Szombathelyi was tall, which the officer in the photo is not.

Hi, does anyone know who is the Hungarian general with Viktor von Schwedler?

He is Jány Gusztáv, commanding officier of the 2nd Hungarian Army.

[AJK]

Hi,

I don't think it is Gusztav Jany. Attached is a frozen shot of the General in the video, with a picture of Jany for comparison.

Another picture of Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model with unidentified officers from Hungarian 1st Army.

These photographs are taken in the city of Kursk in the spring of 1942. The generals are visiting the Hungarian 2nd Army command and attending a German-Hungarian football game. Next to Generalleutnant z.V. Wolfgang von Ditfurth to his left is Gusztáv Jány (out of picture) the commander of the 2nd Hungarian Army.

Who is the Hungarian officer at left? Looks like it is the same officer with General Model in the previous picture.
