Large portrait photo - Hermann Goering Division?

[Zeller]

I recently got this large portrait which i am planning to frame again. The tabs appear to be white. I am not a LW expert, my guess is HG Division?
thanks for the comments

Matt,

It does look to be HG Division though from the angle a little hard to see. It would appear that the collar tabs are piped which was used by HG Div. units early on to designate branch within the unit i.e. artillery etc.

Hello Jeremy,

I'll try to take a better shot or I could scan the collar tabs area only (portrait is too big for a standard scanner). Thanks Matt

Hello Matt and Jeremy,

I think you're correct. The collar tabs are piped in my opinion aswell. Probably Flak/Artillery.

Thank you Erwin! Did you see the ribbon? I think it might be the Sudeten medal (Die Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938), and it would make sense too.

Matt,

Thanks for the additional images, yes definately HG related or more likely General Goring Regt. or Brigade since if I recall the piping was done away with sometime in early 40's.

And yes the medal is the Sudeten occupation medal with Prague clasp.

Cheers

Jeremy
