Hi all.
Could you help me ID these two Generals?
Ernst Schaumburg & Kurt Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord.

Both Pour le mérite holders?
No, only Schaumburg; Hammerstein-Equord is wearing der Preußischen Johanniter-Orden around the neck.

Don't make it too easy! Of course this is Botho Elster.
And this is Alwin Wolz. A little research ("Who surrendered Hamburg to the British?") would have told you.
There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.

Does anyone recognize this Reichswehr General and PLM holder? The photo was probably taken in the Bavaria region in the late 1920´s.

Two more shots from the same album. Both are high ranking staff officers when the photo was taken, prably later generals. I have seen their faces before but I do not remember where.

The album is 21. (bayr.) Inf.Rgt.

Do not worry, mate, I remember them.
One is Paul Otto. And the second one is Albert Ritter von Beckh.
