paul wood Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 General Gonzalo Queipo de Llano? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Paul may well be correct. As to context, Queipo de Llano went to Berlin [without Franco's authorization!] just before the last Legion Condor contingent returned to Germany in March, 1939 to thank & welcome them back home. I cannot make out any condor legion badges on the Germans, however. German Spanish Cross awards commenced in April, 1939 so would not expect to see such awards in an image taken in March, 1939. Of course he had many other encounters with German military figures. Here's an image of a younger Queipo de Llano . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Hi Paul, I think you´re right with him, thanks a lot much appreciated. Here is another photo that came with the bundle, because of the architectural of the building I would rather think Italy or Spain.

Bayern Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hello : I think that is not Gral Queipo , Looks different , older and shorter in height , he wears a jacket with open collar shirt and tie . that was not common . the Republic changed in 1932 the open collar jacket of the 1922 regulations to an closed collar one . Only durin 1943 a open collared jacket was reintroduced . probably the photo is dated from 1943 onwards and taked in Spain and the Gral is receiving a German General and entourage visiting the country .

Bayern Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 A correction : It was not the Republic and not in 1932 who modified the uniform , was the monarchy and the Dictadura during 1926 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
