RFSS in France

[Phil Nix]

It seems to be Werner Lorenz sitting next to Peiper and not Heissmeyer. What do you think?

I think it is Heissmayer with Peiper

100% sure it was Obstlt. i.G. Hans Speth Ia XXVII. Korps and then Gen. d. Inf. Alfred Wäger Kmdr. Gen. XXVII. Korps. They were based in eastern France consistent with Georges' diagnosis.

This will cut the time frame of the french pics back a bit as Speth was Ia XXVII. Korps until 30.09.40.

As always many thanks for your highly professional and competent opinion, Elwyn!

In the mag "La Revue Historique Neufchateloise" n°3/2005 is mentionned " photographie d'Himmler avec des officiers allemands à la frontières des Verrières".
This data fit with identification of picture 7.

This is valuable information, Georges!

So we have 3 ways in this big photoset:

1. Himmler in Przemysl (january 1940)
2. Himmler in Belfort POW camp (july 1940)
3. Himmler in Eastern France (september 1940)

I,m not mistaken?

Himmler is bending over the boundary gate with Switzerland speaking with a swiss official.( Shell ads deal with Shell in Switzerland)
