ixhs Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 HI again, I got the following photo /postcard a few days ago. Unfortunately no names and no dates. The card shows some guys of the Reichswehr. I know some of the faces especially in the 1st line but i don`t know the names. I tried to ID some guys - here are my possibilities: 1st line 3rd of left: von Blomberg, later Reichswehrminister 1st line 4rd of left: (later) General von Lossberg J = Alfred Jodl ? S = later Fieldmarshal Hugo Sperrle Sch = Kurt von Schleicher R = may be later SA leader Ernst Röhm F = Alexander von Falkenhausen X = i know their faces, but not their names. Any idea???? Thanks for help. S I did a marking on other named guys.
Mattyboy Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Super photo! The man in the front row with plm, next to Jodl (?) is Walter von Unrah...
Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 J is NOT Alfred Jodl. Also, I don't think R is Ernst Röhm. First row 4th from the left is Friedrich von Cochenhausen (see photo below for comparison). Note: Around the neck is the Johanniter-Order and NOT the Pour le Merite. First row 5th from the left is Gerd von Rundstedt. First row 7th from the left is Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb.
ixhs Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Hi, thank you both. I think the fat guy behind "Jodl" is Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. The general in mid of first line is wearing a PLM. von Rundstedt is wearing the shoulderboards of an Oberst (colonel), so the pic must have been taken between 1923- 1926
Mattyboy Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 First on left, in front row is possibly Albrecht Steppuhn...

Mattyboy Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Very well done sir! Could the civilian between 12 & 13 be Hermann Köhl?
ixhs Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Wow, that´s awesome. Thank you very much. # 19 - i would nearly bet: Eberhard von Mackensen (he was the son of Feldmarschall Mackensen) and member of Braunschweiger Totenkopfhusarenrgt (see pin on his cap)
ixhs Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) "The civil guy" on the right next to 29 - first i thought it could be Martin Bormann but in around 1925 i think he would be too young. Number 12 wears a Baden decoration´s ribbon + Iron cross. I know that face - could it be a pilot of a Sanke card? # 26 is definitely von Falkenhausen. # 2 has the rank of a Korvettenkapitän.
