The pic is taken at Wilhelmshaven in 4 1939.
Left to right: Brauchitsch, Keitel, ?, Hitler, Alfred Saalwächter, Otto Backenköhler
I didn't seen the two admirals' colour pics before.
But who is the other admiral in left of Hitler?
Thank you!

No, my friend, he has a round cord on his peaked cap - and therefore:

It is
Marineoberbaudirektor (mit den Rangabzeichen eines Konteradmirals)
Dipl.-Ing. Prof. Hermann Burkhardt

01.01.1939 Marineoberbaudirektor

01.09.1937 Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven, Direktor des Schiffbauressorts
01.07-1940 Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven, Chef des Betriebs- und Planungsamtes
31.10.1941 Abschied
15.01.1942 Rang als Vizeadmiral verliehen

This is an nknown "Marinebeamter" in the rank between Marinebaurat (=Korvettenkapitän), Marineoberbaurat (=Fregattenkapitän) and Ministerialrat (= Kapitän zur See).

More to the point, why is Prof. Hermann Burkhardt holding a snooker cue in the first photo? :D

Hi,
I don't think he is Hermann Burkhardt.
I am sure he is Hafenbaudirektor Karl Tiburtius.
Hope you can verify it.

Best regards

Hi, Dieter Zinke
I don't agree with you!
Look at their cap and they have the same cap.
The cord is gilt!
So he is a admiral!
And I think he is Marineoberbaudirektor Dipl.Ing. Otto Klette, Curt Just or Hermann Burkhardt.
Anyone agree with me?

Why do you think that his rank is between Marinebaurat and Ministerialrat?
Best regards

Hallo ttvon,

Karl Tiburtius is indeed an alternative to discuss ! :wink:
Concerning the Marinebeamter beneath an Admiral: I missed the blue and open coat collar.

He looks like the three men, Otto Klette, Curt Just or Hermann Burkhardt.

Hi ttvon, are you sure that the admiral at right is Otto Backenköhler? because when this pic was taken (1 April 1939), his rank is still Kapitän zur See, while we see the man on the pic is wearing Admiral's purple lapel.
