Austrian mountain generals who earned Krimschild

I am trying to find a list of Wehrmacht (Heer) generals, formerly in the Austro-Hungarian and Austrian army who took part in the Crimean campaigns and who earned the Krimschild. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Gen. d. GebTrp Karl Eglseer
GenMjr Walter Vogel

It´s possible that Robert Martinek was qualified too for Krimschild, but there is no entry in his HPA card.

Who is the pictured bushy-headed general? He wears a Krimschild and the EKII and Ostfront ribbons in the buttonhole.

I found this photo for Eglseer. Is that him? The collar tabs look wrong (Verwaltungs tabs?) and he looks too old.

That is a nice ribbon bar he is wearing. You can barely make out the HV on the shoulder boards. He is an administrative officer, Heeresverwaltung. The photo is used with Eglseer’s record on a related website and should be corrected.
