    3. Not an exact unknown but a name that is lacking in details. I know that the surname is Golden. Pre-war he was an instructor at Kriegsschule Dresden and as a Major was Kdr of Pz.Abw.Abt 5. As can be seen here, he is Kdr of Pz.Jäg.Abt 125 with the rank of Oberstleutnant in late 1940. In the 1944/45 list he is present with the rank of Oberst but from 1940 onwards I cannot find any mention of him and his surname doesn't lend itself to an easy search. Plus, I cannot find out his first name - the Volksbund has a Max Golden listed as dying in a Russian PoW camp. He is given a birth year of 1903 (which I judge would match a senior officer's period of birth) but he hasn't been given a rank or date of death.

    7. Another one to identify if possible.

      The 1936 DAL for 25.Division confirms the surname as Ziegler but that is the only place I can find it. There are two Ziegler's in 'Die Dienstlaufbahnen der Offiziere des Generalstabes des deutschen Heeres 1935-45 Vol 1 & 2' by Christian Zweng but neither are this particular individual, or at least don't mention 25.Division.

      I would have thought that if he was an Oberst in 1936 then he would have made General rank at some point or retired but neither of that is helping. It also isn't future General der Artillerie Heinz Ziegler as he wasn't an Oberst until 1938.
