Hi Mark Mac,
Stauffenberg II of the other forum jolted my memory re Pic #116, #117 and #118 by sending me a totally unrelated pic.
You have two Wehrmacht generals here with a bunch of Bulgarian officers. I am pretty sure the one not in the sheepskin overcoat was Hans Georg Leyser, kmdr of 29 (mot) Div. Not many good pictures of him. But search the other forum for the thread on Leyser/Lindemann and you will see a semi-decent pic I posted.
The sheepskin clad gentleman, by deduction, was his corp kmdr, Erwin Jaenecke, kmdr of IV Corp. This must be just prior to Stalingrad. Jaenecke got out as he switched command. Leyser was not so lucky. He surrendered.
Cheers
Elwyn
