    Here is a LW General with RK , no name on the back, but I guess it is Paul Conrath ? Or has anyone other suggestions …

    And the officer on the right looks almost like Adolf Galland  Maybe a unknown twin brother? ?

    well the guy on the right side totally looks like Adolf Galland, but then the photo must have been taken before 29th of july 1940. But if your General is Paul Conrath, then we are in trouble, as he recieved his KC 4th of september 1941. So that would mean that Galland doesn't wear his KC and he is also not wearing his spanish cross, so interesting question. Who is this sibling?

    The general (if that is what he is) indeed looks like Conrath, the Hauptmann on the right does not really resemble Galland, though. and as Stephan pointed out, Galland was promoted to majoron 19 July 1940, whereas Conrath only received his KC in 1941. 

     

    The Hauptmann's awards are too generic to permit identification by reference to those, and in the absence of other distinguishing uniform features (like a CT etc.) it may simply not be possible to identify him unless someone recognizes him.

     

    Kind regards,
