Hello, Esteban!

Unknown1031. ebay - It's GL Heinrich Kirchheim

Unknown 864. ebay - This general very similar with GM Werner von Eichstedt. My other version was GL Hans de Salengre - Drabbe, but he has a wider face than our KC holder.

Best wishes
Ruslan

Hi Esteban-ref General Neumarkt Pfalz,looks a bit like
GL Bruno Edler von Kiesling auf Kieslingstein as Wehr Insp Regensburg,
Neumarkt came under his area of command.

Un saludo.

Hi Miocid,

Unknown 522 is Sütterlin for General [Martin] Grase.

Hi Elwyn!

I think the name of Unknown 522 is HAASE (but the face?) not Grase.

Regards
Vienna

Hmmm not sure. I can't remember if Erwin actually e-mailed me this pic but I have the "signature" with the cropped "Okt 1941" Grase was a Regimental Kmdr at this point and Haase was a Korps Kmdr on his way to a full Army Kmdr with RK in June 40. Yet we have a division pennant. Of course the date may be wrong to begin with.

Hi Ruslan,

I would put my money behind v Eichstedt (well done). Could be De Salegre-Drabbe too as I can't really rule out one or the either from this angle. But De Salegre-Drabbe, even when you see him without a beard, always wore his spange for EK I, not to mention his Infanterie assault badfge.

Cheers

I have been staring at him for years too. Supposedly from AOK 8.

From Edition Heimdal, which is full of mistakes... but I think this one is reasonable as it had Blaskowitz leading the parade and after all AOK 8 was the main formation in Warsaw,

Not Ulex, Hansen, Olbricht, Briesen, Gienanth, v Weichs, Moser, Loch, v Cochenhausen, Andreas

so..... Arko 22 Walter Büchs? Nose too small.


I give up

Cheers
Elwyn

Thanks for your help.
I agree on KIRCHHEIM and EICHSTÄDT.
I don´t think the general on the car is neither GRASE nor HAASE. How about Walther GROSSE?
To me is hard to match the general at Neumarkt with the picture of KIESLING from the Biblio bible.

Here I have three more generals:

Hello, Esteban!

A new day and new arrivals! :D Unknown Heer RKT 188. ebay.jpg - A very interesting general! I think it is the same man that I requested on page 245. The same ears, wrinkles, face proportions and cap with a characteristic bend of the crown. What do you think? And unfortunately it's not Traugott Herr, presumably our man wears IAB.

Best wishes
Ruslan

Which one on PP245?

Isn't he the same man as DocArchiv's man?
