Request for Identification of Generals and Admirals
Hi!
I have 3 more pics to which I would like to put names - can anyone help?
The first is a RKT, the second a Generalleutnant, Divisional commander in Italy in May, 1944 and as for the third - who is he and what is the award around his neck?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
VJK

the thrid man
Also looks like he has on his ribbon bar the EK, the Honour Cross for war veterans with swords a long service award and another ribbon with a device that might be another prussian order..? Very hard to see all of the ribbon bar clearly, is it clearer in the original photo..?

I agree with Vienna: Grl d Art F-W Hauck:

Hi all!
We already had a discussion about X.jpg. Some regulards indeed voted for Friebe (Helmut). But it can´t be him - not at all - if the pic (neck order) isn´t faked.
The man is wearing the Commander´s Cross with swords of the "House Order of Hohenzollern" a very high and rare award that was only awarded to very, very senior officers of WW I. One of them was the later "Chef der Heeresleitung", Gen. d. Inf. Walter Reinhardt. I don´t know a single further recipient (Reinhardt apart). Little Friebe was way too young and junior to get the award and didn´t receive it according to the pre war rank lists. But he received the Knight´s Cross of the House Order, the lower ranking grade.
Glenn actually raised a good point some months ago stating that he wondered if the man could be a Prince of Hohenzollern. I have to admit that this is the most probable solution provided the pic is not faked.
Hauck and Schaal - of course - I agree!
Regards!

Morning Stauffenberg,
I think you are right. Now we have a new discussion for all researchers.
