The Graf von Schlitz.... but which one?

[Chris Boonzaier]

The mix of titles leads down many a wrong path on google... but this is the man, and what could be a photo of him...... Can anyone take a stab at it?

Thanks

Chris

Could it be this guy...?

"Im Jahre 1913 stand der - am 4. Aug. 1890 in Berlin geborene - Leutnant Eitel-Leopold Graf v. Schlitz genannt v. Görtz und v. Wrisberg bei dem in Berlin garnisonierten 3. Garde - Regiment zu Fuß. Er schied nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg als Hauptmann a.D. aus dem Regiment aus."

First here the regiments of the 29. Inf.-Brigade during WW1:

 

 

That's there entry in the Gothaisches genealogisches Taschenbuch der gräflichen Häuser from 1893  

So there are some other guys, and sure he could have been born later

At 5. 2) is Your guy

Kind regards

Friedrich-Wilhelm Viktor
*28.04.1890 in Blankenburg am Harz
†29.01.1951 in Königstein am Taunus
Lt. (Pat. 18.8.11), IR 25, 5.10.16 OLt., OLt.a.D., served with Freikorps Lützow. 
reactivated in the Wehrmacht as an E-Offizier. Hptm.(E) (RDA 1.10.33), 1.3.38 Maj.(E), ... Oberst a.D.

I have not seen his personnel file, assuming it is at the archives, so I can't confirm the awards and that the pictured Wehrmacht officer is Friedrich-Wilhelm. Oldenburg and Braunschweig seem more likely for a X.Armeekorps officer rather than a VIII.Armeekorps officer like Friedrich-Wilhelm.

Eitel-Leopold served with 3.GRzF and the 2.Garde-Reserve-Regiment. Oberleutnant on 27.1.15, Hauptmann on 18.4.17.
