I have several other photos of Rosenberg wearing this uniform - it is actually a cream colored, also Afrika Korps type color.

Hello,

Does anyone by chance have the first name of Bereichsleiter Klostermann from his photo on page 7? Thanks in advance.

Best,

James

Hi,
I have several photos of officers which i would like to put names to, i have established 1 of the men in the photo's is Hinrick Lohse, and it is his name i have been searching which lead me to this site.
This is my first post so i hope my pics come out, i apologise if the quality is not the best.
I am particularly interested in the name and any other info of the chap on the far left in 2.jpg
if anybody could shed any light it would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

Hello "rstel"!
Man in a raincoat on both photographs is similar to Drechsler Otto-Heinrich Dr. Generalkommissar.
Very interesting SS-Brif. in the picture 2. Is there a possibility of a larger picture with him?

Andrey.

[Mark Costa]

Man in overcoat is definately Dreschler and thats Gauleiter Hinrich Lohse in the Leather overcoat in photo 1.

I'm almost certain the SS-Brigf. is SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Polizei Walter Schröder, SS- und Polizeiführer Lettland.

Many thanks for the responses, any ideas what the occasion would have been? i believe they were taken in latvia, not sure where abouts.
unfortunately the other pics keep coming out really blurry when i take them up close.
Also any ideas who the man on the far right is?
Again many thanks for the information, it is most appreciated.

It might be him, but for the fact that Schröder wore glasses and this man doesn't appear to.

Perhaps he wore them only for reading

No, he's got them on in the photos I've seen and have of him.

i cant quite make out if he has glasses on in this photo, but i have 2 more photo's where he certainly does have glasses on.

The man in your photo here is definitely not wearing glasses. There is no break between his eyes and ears and no sign of rims around the eyes. There is also no doubt that Schröder wore glasses as he wears them in all known confirmed photos. So who is the Brigadeführer?
Max.

[Igor Karpov]

It's SS-Brigadeführer Kurt Hintze.

"It's SS-Brigadeführer Kurt Hintze."

Oh well - oops again.
