Brandenburger RKT: Wilhelm Walther?

[jmark]

I'm hoping someone can identify this Ritterkreuzträger. The photo comes from a Brandenburger album and the album owner belonged to I./zbV 800, which was commanded by Major Wilhelm Walther in 1942-43. I think this photo was taken in winter 1942-43. It kinda looks like him. Opinions?

Also - and this is probably a long shot - does anybody recognise the other two officers?

Thanks!

For comparison purposes, here's a known photo of Walther.

I do notice the difference in collar tabs between the two photos. The portrait has lighter outer stripes on the tab, whereas the in field photo seems to have darker outer stripes. They may have been different uniforms and it is probably not relevant at all, but just an observation!

Wilhelm Walther

It would be interesting to know if your photo album does have pictures of Wilhelm Walther. I'm very interested in him in that I have his Dossier and Army dagger in my collection. Any info you should get, I would apreciate your sharing it with everyone.
