    This photo is stamped "Nicht zur Ver?ffentlichung!" so i suppose it was an official photo that caught the old guy at the wrong moment... and somehow made its way to the public (ie. moi) years later...

    Is it possible that the picture in Post #5 was taken at Kaiser Wilhelm's funeral? von Mackensen was a big supporter an monarchist and I have read he attended in full uniform.

    He seems to have the same position of esteem as a von Richthofen, and Rommel.
