    I have on occasion described him as "the best German general you've never heard of," at least among English-speaking students of the war.

    Heinrici???

    Hello readers:

    I agree that this officer very much resembles Gen.Oberst Gotthard Heinrici,DoB 25 Dec.1886 and DoD 13 Dec.1970 .Hohenzoller in WWI and Oakleaves and Swords on 3 Mar.1945.

    Literature available to me does not indicate a son or sons.

    Bernhard H. Holst

    Heinrici it is.

    Hartmut Heinrici, the son of Gotthard Heinrici. For comparison, here are Gotthard Heinrici's file photo and a wartime photo postcard from Wikipedia.
