I need to confirm the complete name of a ROA General and on the other hand ID a General.

First pic: General Shilenko, identified by Dieter Zinke on page 62:
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... o#p1057669
I need to confirm if this is Generalleutnant Georgij Nikolajewič Žilenkow. I mean, is it the same man (Shilenko/Zilenkow)?

Second pic: this one was posted by 'Mark Mac' (wehrmacht-awards.com forum). It shows Friedrich Seibert (Kdr 44.Inf Div), unknown and GFM Reichenau. Who's the General in the middle? I couldn't find any Grl Seibert so I suppose the first man to the left is Seibert (?) and his an Oberst (?). Am I right?

Thanks for some clue anyway.

Here is another pic from the Lithuanian war time weekly "Savaite", taken during decoration (KVK2) of the 23 men from the 13th Schuma Lit. Btln. on 1943 09 01, suppose by the one of major commanders of 16. Armee.

First from the left is cpt. Jonas Semaska. Is it Generalfeldmarshall Ernst Busch - first from the right?

The pic was taken between 19/07/1940 and 17/01/1942 and is picturing the Cdr. 44. Division, Friedrich Siebert in the middle and von Reichenau (right). I don´t know who the guy left is.

Ok, so the man in the middle is Siebert (not Seibert). That's all I need for the second pic. Thanks a lot Stauffenberg.
Best,

Hi!
I think the picture posted by Walküre shows General der Artillerie Edgar THEISSEN.

It is (GL) General Adalbert von Taysen!

Hello Vienna,

Thank you. Is there a link that you can provide directing me to more information on von Taysen? I must admit, I have not heard of him before. I searched some of the databases online for a General Adalbert von Taysen but have not met with any success. :)

Hi!

I have already added him to the Johanniter-list in 2005, see:

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... r&start=30

Note: In the GHdA-series his first name is given "Adelbert".

The General looks a bit like Maximilian Felzmann.
