Hubert Schmundt at left.
Konteradmiral Richard Foerster as Flottenchef.

BTW: The German Marine had never a "Rear admiral" !!!! Please use the german determination for correctness !!

Hi Dieter,

You probably meant Konteradmiral Hermann Boehm, BH d Aufklärungsstreitkräfte at this time. Förster had much broader shoulders than man in question. KzS Schmundt was Kmdt at Mürwik

Hi.

Thanks all.

Dieter,
I could write the message in German, but it is an English-speaking forum.
I know the Rangliste of German fleet.

I agree, that at the left Hubert Schmundt, but do not agree, that in the centre Richard Foerster.
The photo is made in 1934 - 35 on an dem leichten Kreuzer "Königsberg".
Foerster was at this time already Vizeadmiral.

Hermann Boehm looks more preferable... Here one more photo. I think, that it is the same person. Schulschiff "Schlesien" leaves in training voyage to the South America, 1937.

Best regards

Liebes Twilight,

I could write the message in German, but it is an English-speaking forum

As Phil Nix said It is a German subject and we cannot expect everything to be translated. If you are going to continue this interest you will need to use some German especially the technical terms as most of our members take for granted to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. in case of doubt you can use the english translation in brackets - for example:

Befehlshaber des Ersatzheeres (B.d.E.) [ C.-in-C. Replacement Army ]
or
Ausbildungs- und Ersatz- (Ausb.u.Ers.; A-u.E.) [ Training and replacement ]

Thank you for your understanding

Dieter Z., mod.

Miocid,

244 is Otto Tiemann
345 is Max Viebahn
Man with Kleikamp in Holland was Hans Wolfgang Reinhard

I know who 403 was. Sammlung Krug had him and I squared it away with Dieter and Alex. At 12 midnight I can't remember though.

Lastly, not Ott IMHO even with the Korps sign on the command car's fender. Ott was a burly man but with thinner jowls. I always thought he was Wittke 170 ID in Balkans Feldzug


Cheers
Elwyn

No 403 at http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... start=3090

was Josef Lehmann.

[miocid]

YES!
His features, other than the spectacles, fit very well with the picture shown in the Biblio "bible".
Thank you Elwyn!
Cheers.

[Elwyn W]

Any idea who he was? Looks like France.

General der Artillerie Wilhelm Fahrmbacher.

Cheers.

[Elwyn W]

Thanks

Hi,

Can someone please put a name to this LW Generalmajor. His face is sooo familiar, but I just can't pin him down.
