This wondering if someone else give there opinion on whether this is von Rundstedt in the photo wearing the Army dagger?

Thanks in advance!

This is not Von Rundstedt, it does not look like him and he is too young. I would guess this guy is a battalion or Regemental commander.

Thanks for that! The face just looks familiar.

I don't think he is Rundstedt.

What type of tank is that in the background? It's a Soviet gun mantlet, but I just can't pick what type of tank it is.

PS. The dagger-armed gent is not von Rundstedt.

Can post the rest of the photo, it looks like he is talking to another officer wearing a dress belt. This would also help to ID the tank.

Here is the full photo. It is dated "Winter 42/43" on the reverse side.

Aah, OK, it's a KV-1. The cropping of the photo and the post between the two officers made it look like some sort of exotic hybrid!

By the way, very nice photo.
