It is Generalmajor Fritz Krause, not Generalleutnant Walther Krause. Walther Krause did not fight in the Afrika Korps.

Best regards,

Thanks, VJK.

Based on facial recognition I believe he is Walther Krause. How do we know that the man fought in DAK?

No doubt! It is Fritz Krause, see

Click on "German", then click on "Generale Truppenoffiziere", then "K" - and you will find some pics for comparison.

"077" on PP 421 was Rudolf v Tschudi. It matches a much smaller pic I have of of the same event with the Italian political figure and architectural structure in the back drop. Also matches Sammlung Krug.

PP 414 Heer general standing in front of Flak cannons was NOT Köstring.

That was Kurt Schreiber, former Kmdt v Berlin and here as Kmdt v Hannover shaking hands with Ludwig Wolff as Kmdt v Luftgau XI Hannover. Schreiber was Generalluftschutzführer while v Roques was Präsident.

Here's a shoddy pic of the same occasion.
