Hi graveland,
Whenever I click on the picture you posted, it always takes me to postimages.org. I cannot enlarge the photo. Am I doing something wrong or?
Does somebody know who any of these men are please?

Any one for some ID and informations about this officer? The caption in the archive is "Oberstleutnant Wolfgang Förster", could be a german officer serving in Denmark. But is it him, but here as a generals rank? Source: Danish National Archive digital Collection. Regards, Kurt - kstdk

Only Min.Dirig., as far as I know.
There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.

My "probably" was not meant for "Min.Dir." (to me "Min.Dir." or "Min.Dirig." is the same for Ministerialdirigent, although I agree that "Min.Dirig." is more understandable) but for Wolfg. Foerster ( 'cause I was not sure that it was him).
