Die Falke Division - 29.Motorized Infantry

[Mark Mac]

I was lucky enough to get several photos from an Ebay auction featuring dozens of photos from a Staff Officer in the 71st Inf Rgt, 29 Infantry Division. They were not cheap, but they are very nice IMO. I have a studio portrait of the original owner and will post when it arrives.

All the photos are pre-Stalingrad.

If anyone can ID any of the Officers in the photos, please do!

First up is General Joachim Lemelsen. RKT July 1941. He was division commander 1938 to 1940, but also commander of XXXXVII Motorized Korps during Barbarossa. 29th Division was part of that Korps.

The next two show a flak position in action overlooking what appears to be an urban/industrial area. Perhaps someone will recognize the city. Minsk, Smolensk, Bialystok and Novgorod-Seversk are some possibilities.
