Goering photo & LW officers

[entasis]

Anyone recognize the officers with Goering? The photo's a little grainy so I've also attached closeups of them.

Also, as shown on the reverse, is a stamp that bears the words "BERLIN SW 68". I've seen in this in at least one other photo stamp and of course on the reverse of some badges. Is there a meaning for this "SW 68"??

thanks,
Tony

No idea who the officers are, but....

I got a photo recently which also has the "Berlin SW 68" in the address stamped on the back



Im 99% sure SW stands for Southwest and 68 is an area code in that region of Berlin.

Hope that helps

SüdWesten 68

thanks! With that info, I found the following " SW stands for Southwest and 68 is an area code in that region of Berlin" in this postcard website: http://cinemaplayerspostalantiquities.com/RossMain.html

I also found different addresses with 'SW', 'N', etc. followed by a number:

thanks again!

Now...does anyone else have an idea who the officers are?

Exactly the same site i found the info on lol

I've noticed quite a few press photos with the Berlin SW 68 code on the back so im assuming this area of Berlin was heavily populated with press offices etc

It looks like your photo originally had a description attached to the back, pity it's been torn off

Hi!

Top left looks like Hans Jeschonnek, bottom left looks like Otto von Stuelpnagel.

photo links

thanks for the info.

I found some photos. Jeschonnek has a strong resemblance, though on my photo the RK is not shown (rec'd in Oct 1939 so the photo might pre-date this date):

Here are some of Stuelpnagel which interestingly all sport a moustache but the one in my photo does not (there's smudge/blue ink mark there above the lip):

I agree with VJK.

The general next to Goering looks like Bodenschatz.

VJK, check you e-mail!! Need your opinion on Mike Mac's pics of whom I think were Leyser and Jaenecke.

Cheers

possible RK

I checked the guy on the left hand side again carefully and perhaps there is an RK after all. here's a detailed closeup. let me know what you think.

Karl Bodenschatz

Thanks Elwyn. Indeed I found this image (linked) below and there appears to be a good resemblance to the man pictured above.
