Re: US - Request for Identification
The Following US Officers were full Colonels in the 101st Abn Div in May 1945-
Col. Ned D. Moore- Division Chief of Staff
Col. Harry W. O. Kinnard, Jr.- Assistant Chief of Staff G-3
Col. Joseph H. Harper- Commanding Officer, 327th Glider Infantry regiment
Col. Robert A. Ballard- Commanding Officer, 501st Parachute Infantry regiment
Col. Steve A. Chappuis- Commanding Officer, 502d Parachute Infantry regiment
Col. Robert F. Sink- Commanding Officer, 506th Parachute Infantry regiment
You can automatically discount Sink as he had a distinctive pencil mustache
Off Hand My guess is Robert Ballard

Here is a Ullstein pic.
The note:Schwien,Edwin Eugene In company of the first French army in Alsace.1944
I just guess left is Schwien,Edwin Eugene(brigadier general) because left one looks like a brigadier general and I have no other pics of Schwien,Edwin Eugene to compare. Hope anyone can help confirm whether left is Schwien.
And
Who is the Major general on right?

1 is not Joseph M. Swing.Steen Ammentorp wrote: ↑04 Oct 2010, 11:31#1 Major General Joseph M. Swing, Commanding General, 11th Airborne Division
The Major general wearing helmet far left is Joseph M. Swing.
So 1 and 2 are still unknown.
We can see 2 is Major general from the pic.
