Hi,
I may be completly wrong (wouldn't be the first time -.- ) but I guess the officer on the picture wears a romanian uniform?
can anybody identify the rank? first thought was a general because of the Kragenspiegel but that might be wrong..
I would really need the rank of the officer (and that he is indead romanian) - also if an identifikation would be possible it would be really really great
thanks,
Alexander
Romanian officer/General? Rank, Identifikation?
Re: Romanian officer/General? Rank, Identifikation?
nobody an idea?
at least at the rank? are these really "General-Spiegelkragen" or just officer insignia?

Alexander
PS: could this be Constantin Trestioreanu?

Hi,
It is hard to say for certain because the pic is out of focus, but they certainly appear to be a Romanian general's rank insignia, and it appears as if there is the one stripe of a General de brigadă on his shoulder tab (very fuzzy, but it looks like it). I would discount Trestioreanu for an ID, my first thought was Corneliu Teodorini, but he received the Ritterkreuz as a Colonel.
Kind regards,
VJK

Hi VJK,
thanks
the picture has to be from 1941 or early 1942 (most likely summer/fall 1941)
the romanian generals the Unit (from where the picture is from) I am shure had contact with were (as far as I know)
- F.Ionel Glogojanu (CO 10.Div) - but he had a beard as far as I know
- Constantin Tresioreanu (10.Div.)
- Nicolae Ghineraru 1st Fortress brigade, later CO 10.Div.)
Petre Dumitrescu (but only later in 1942)
(Admiral Alexandru Gheorghiu - but that's an army uniform not a navy uniform)
of course there could have been an additional unknown general also be in contact with the unit... he had to be soneone who was involved with the Danubie/Pruth front or the Transnistrien coast east of Odessa
My money was on Trestioreanu but as you disagree, maybe Ghineraru ?
frustrating that the research of the romanian military in WW2 is so far behind -.-
regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
I think you have hit the nail on the head with Ghineraru.
Here is a brief bio of him.
