    Some well decorated veterans to identify

    This is a photo of the Reichskriegertag at Kassel 1935. A rally day for veterans.
    There are a lot of ranks with many decorations.
    Maybe it is possible to name some of them ?

    Here's the whole photo:



    Now here are the persons which may be possibly identified, starting from the right:

















    Maybe at least the two Generals ??

    Thanks in advance for Your efforts.

    Kind regards
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    F would appear to be the then Oberst a.D. Wilhelm Reinhard. OPLM winner and former regimental commander of 4. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß. Charakter General der Infanterie on 14 Mar 1939.

    Regards

          I MUST add please for all to notice the old vets are NOT giving the Nazi salute. Speaks volumes to their lack of allegiance to Hitler.

              I think the two guys taking the salute are Von Epp (Nazi salute) and The Army officer (Military salute).

              The guys in the back are not supposed to be saluting.

              Is there something freudian about the positioning of the letters... Toe shields ?

                I do not know who "B" is but I would love to have a display of all his hardware. His awards, sword, and I bet he had a realy nice Pick or 2.

                TOO bad the set is more than likely split up and scattered around the world by now
