Hi Marko!
If the caption is correct, then it could be the Artillery officer of the LI. Armeekorps. It was Artilleriekommandeur (Arko) 106, from it´s creation on (01.10.1939) led by Obst. and Gen. Maj. (from 01.10.1940 on) Gerhard Steinbauer, a Bavarian Artillery Reichsheer pro.
He earned the EK1 in WWI, as well as a wound badge (1914).
Regards!

Re: Another General ID
Did Steinbauer die as a PoW, as it is sometimes indicated? 1946 would fit, but I would have expected camps like Garmisch-Partenkirchen instead of München as place of death.
Also, I would be grateful for infos on his later career after LI. AK.

There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.
