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,

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

The best portrait pic of Tiedemann to compare should be in Kabisch (Die Führer des Reichsheeres), but I only have a low-quality and small copy of it.

Here is all stuff, subordinated to Infanterieführer III (as per as rank lists 01/05/1930 and 01/05/1931). Choose wisely.

Inf. Kdr. III: GL Fleck (Wolfgang), 1931: GM Zeitz (Hugo)
Maj. von Förster, 1931: Maj. Kleffel
Hptm. Frhr. v. Schleinitz (1931: Maj.)
Hptm. Schneckenburger, 1931: Hptm. Prüter

7. Inf. Rgt.: Oberst Metz (Hermann), 1931: Oberst Gerhardt
RSt: Obstlt. Schaumburg, 1931: Obstlt. von Kempski
I. Btl.: Obstlt. Raschick, 1931: Maj. Schroeck
II. Btl.: Maj. Moeller (1931: Obstlt.)
A. Btl.: Maj. Wendt (1931: Obstlt.)
III. Btl.: Maj. Ott

8. Inf. Rgt.: Oberst Petri (1931: GM)
RSt: Oberst Woytasch, 1931: Obstlt. Sperrle
A. Btl.: Obstlt. Hoffmann, 1931: Maj. Wolff
III. Abt.: Obstlt Brüll, 1931: Maj. Schaefer
I. Btl.: Maj. Peltz, 1931: Maj. Strack
II. Btl.: Maj. von Schauroth (1931: Obstlt.)

9. Inf. Rgt.: Oberst Feige, 1931: Oberst von Kleist
RSt: Obstlt. von Ditfurth, 1931: Obstlt. Schade
A. Btl.: Obstlt. Drogand, 1931: Maj. Thofern
II. Btl.: Obstlt. v. Schwedler, 1931: Maj. Schede
III. Btl.: Obstlt. Busch
I. Btl.: Maj. von Marees (Konrad) (1931: Obstlt.)

3. Pi. Btl.: Obstlt. Bormann, 1931: Maj. Schimpf

subordinated to 3. Division/Wehrkreis III:
Kdtr. Berlin: GM Schreiber
Obstlt. v. Tiedemann (1931: Oberst)
Maj. Strack (only 1930)
Hptm. v. Alten (1931: Maj.)
Hptm. v. Basse (1931: Maj.) ...

It is Walther Schroth.
Many thanks VJK!

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.

Best regards,

Hi!

freiherr 23. August - Göring, Wever pic

I think the army officier in the middle is later General von Tippelskirch.

Hi!

Fritsch pic

I think it's abvious that the general on left side besides Fritsch is Erwin von Witzleben (Cdr. Berlin, Wehrkreis III)

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.

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?


B.

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).
