And the second one is Rudolf Gercke (General der Infanterie).

Cheers.

Hello!

I reworked and updated our research for "Funeral of Fritz Löb" picture. And now it looks like this:

1. GL Wilhelm Mooyer,
2. GdF Erich Quade,
3. GdI Hermann von Hanneken,
4. GL Ernst Seifert,
5. GdF Wilhelm Wimmer,
6. Not von Dalwigk zu Lichtenfels, but GdI Waldemar Erfurth (methinks),
7. GO Günther Rüdel,
8. Unknown,
9. GM Fritz Todt,
10. GFM Erhard Milch,
11. Unknown,
12. GdF Waldemar Klepke.

# 8 and 11 are still unknown.

Best wishes
Ruslan

Hi, Ruslan!

From my point of view: 8 (Eduard Dransfeld, GdFl) and 11 (Bodo von Witzendorff, GdFl).

All the best, pal.

...and the number 13 it could be Konrad Zander, GdFl., but it is only a surmise.

Cheers.

Hello, Gregg!

Totally agree with von Witzendorff and Dransfeld, both from RLM! I think Bodo von Witzendorff shown with his Mecklenburg-Schwerin Military Merit Cross.

Not sure about Zander, based on the color of collar tabs could be administrative officer?

Best wishes
Ruslan

GDK-2.jpg
Id: Gen.Lt. Wolfgang von Ditfurth

These photographs are taken in the city of Kursk in the spring of 1942. The generals are visiting the Hungarian 2nd Army command and attending a German-Hungarian football game. Next to the general above to the left is Gusztáv Jány (out of picture) the commander of the 2nd Hungarian Army.

I would need some help to identify these German Generals.

That could very well be! The photo is taken the 14th of May 1942 in Kursk, so as the commander of the XLVIII- Panzer-Korps, he would most likely attend this German-Hungarian joint football game together with the commanders of the 2nd Hungarian Army that also used Kursk as their HQ at this time.

Thanks so much for the info!

Mio3 is easy. As per as the signature it is Brenken.

The first pic has resemblance with Heunert, but I am not sure.
