A private color film made by the supply captain of the 23rd Infantry Division, Friedrich Gehrke, in 1940-1941. In 2008 Karl Höfkes used it to make the film "Die Geschichte der 23. Infanterie-Division" (The Story of the 23rd Infantry Division).

Hi Gregg,
yes he is. I would say, it can be Gen. Johann-Heinrich Eckhardt?
Regards,
Hugo.
I think you are correct, Hugo.
In my opinion, it is not him. You know, it's frustrating because it's so familiar to me.

Thank you, Hugo and John.
Hi again Gregg,
It's indeed difficult to be 100% sure, but for the physical terme I'm 90% sure. It would be helpful to be able to check his exact rank of general and his awards. Clearly this is also only part of a bigger picture, to check the people around him and to have an idea of the event on which this pic. was taken.
Regards,
Hugo.
