Heer FM visit to unit?

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

From yesterdays rescue, these were in a seperate envelope perhaps indicating a different side of the family. There are a lot of interesting pictures as the soldier appears to have been a signals man at a HQ by the look of it. I shall make a start with these.

Hello Jock.

At first glance it appears to be Fieldmarshall v. Reichenau carrying his interim baton, who died on 18.Jan.1942 of illness.

Thanks for showing these.

What a rare set of photos. It is nice to see them all together.

I notice when I done a search a similar image came up but not the same credited to the Bundesarchive, These last couple show the FM with two other Generals (Stapf) is one according to the caption on the online picture. I wonder who the other is, possibly some thing to do with 111 Inf Div. I shall look on Lexicon.

Do they or did they have camels in Russia? Odd pictures!

A great set of photos. They did indeed have camels in the Soviet Union, in the southern regions I believe.
