Although the image is not very clear, there seems to be a Hitler Jugend badge under the ISA. I didn't know that Wolff had one.

I think that is not excluded, because after all, he was "Vertreter des Heeres bei der Reichsjugendführung"

p.149, pic. 47589.jpg is Hptm. Walther Koch, RK 10.05.1940. The picture shows him as Olt., so the RK must be added artificially.
p.214, pic. budapest 1944, RK-verleihung by Gen Deßloch.jpg, and
p.233, pic. be58_1jpg are FhjOfw. Klaus Schmidtberg, awarded by GenObst. Otto Deßloch.

Hi Hugo

The image on page 149 has been around for a long time. I don't think it's Walter Koch.

Hello John,
concerning picture of Koch on page 149.
I have here the information on the edge of the photo of Bundesarchiv which ID's it as Koch.

Bundesarchiv. Bild 146-1981-011-15A
Foto: o. Ang. 1 Juli 1941.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Hugo.

Hi Hugo

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have seen the Bundesarchiv image, but I don't think the man looks like Koch. Compare this one, for instance. What do you think?
