Officers ID Poland 1939 Pics

[Mil-Archive]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to ID any of these officers or the location ? It is from a Poland 1939 album and some pictures were unfortunately damaged.

I think the damaged ones are Soviets from what I can see of thier caps and the chevrons makes me think this.

In the first pic there is a Soviet officer in the back ground and the German chap in front with the very large eagle on his cap i think is part of the diplomatic corps.

I thought the guy on the steps, 2nd row left was russian but was not sure about the others, also I didn't realise that the eagle was a diplomatic corps one. Thanks for that info Would anyone have an idea of the location or the name of the diplomatic corps officer ?

The first pic seems to name a regiments kommandeur, oberst Weber. The question is which Weber is it? I can see at least a couple of possibilities, IR 30 of the 18 ID or IR 85 of the 10 ID.

Thanks a lot for that. Not sure if it may help narrow it down further but here are another couple of pictures from the album









The album was damaged and stripped of a few pictures so I am not 100% sure they are all related (though they seem to match the captions from what I can make out).

Great pictures.

I had a look on the German text:

1) Lublin Rgt. ... Obst. v. Weber

2) Eintreffen der russischen Abordnung

3) Batl. - Kdr. Obstleutnant Rad... und Kp. Chef

4) Rückmarsch über Wietum (?)

5) Verabschiedung für Schuster (?)

6) Btl. Kdr. am Grab Bahrkes (?)

Thanks for the translations!

Looking at the damaged pic the Russian officer who is saluting is most defiantly of General rank as indicated by his large Chevron,

Gerard,

Congrats you have a second winner there -- it was ObstLt Oskar Radwan, Kmdr II/IR93 (mot) before he won RK in 1940. But wondering who the CdS with cerise stripes on trousers was?

Cheers
