Request for Identification of Generals and Admirals
Re: Request for identification
Hi!
The caption says the pic was taken on 23 June 1930, by which time Schreiber was already a Generalmajor according to Keilig, so that would rule him out. My money is on Tiedemann.
Best regards,
VJK

Hi Jürgen,
That is very useful info, thanks!
Spotting v Tiedemann is one of the most frustrating exercises. Firstly, the man in Fangio's pic does not agree with the tiny pic that Hans Houterman has. Secondly, we have come across this pic before. Caption said Holland. 207 Sich div was in Holland and this general had a Johanniter (There was another frontal pic which I posted before of the same general). Yet another man with completely different facial features
Cheers

Many thanks VJK!VJK wrote:Hi Fangio!
It is Walther Schroth.
Another one. Same source as Heye's pic. It shows General Freiherr von Fritsch. The pic is not of great quality but can anyone ID the other men?

Hi Fangio!
I'm 99.99% sure that the officer on the extreme right is Gilsa.

Hi!
freiherr 23. August - Göring, Wever pic
I think the army officier in the middle is later General von Tippelskirch.

Re: Request for identification
Re Generals On Horse Back ( Far Left General) Could be Werner von Blomberg( White Hair Etc ) And Was Around The Same Time As Fritsch .....Before He Got Fired From His Job !!!

Re: Request for identification
Hi Vienna,
I thought of exactly same thing re v Tippelskirch. But he was Kmdr IR27, 12 Div in Summer 1935. Wonder what he was doing there.
Cheers

Re: Request for identification
Hello!
I am posting 3 rather poor pictures of German generals. All taken in 1943 in Norway, at these places:
- general 1: Setermoen
- general 2: Tromsø
- general 3: Skoganvarre
While uploading the pictures, they came in this row: 2, 3 1.
Who could indentify these?

Re: Request for identification
Hi freiherr!
In some publications Tippelskirch is listed as Chief of 3. Abteilung "Fremde Heere"and "Attache-Gruppe", Kriegsministerium, already since 1935.
Look at
http://www.dewiki.net/kurt_von_tippelskirch.html and (third passage)
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_von_Tippelskirch (third passage).
