    Help ID the WSS Generals in these two photos

    Hi, Irecently bought these photos on the e-stand and I could use some help in identifing the Generals. My guess that the one is Steiner but I have no guesses for the two in the other photo.

      Dietrich and Hausser?

        I don't think it's Dietrich, Hausser or Eicke in either of these photos. Shame the images are not sharp. It might be Otto Kumm in the sheepskin coat and possibly Günther Claassen in the bottom photo on the right, but they are not clear enough.

          For sure not - Kumm´s nose and ears are totally different:

            The bottom photo:

            I believe that one of the generals is Max von Herff and one of the officers in Klingenberg... taken possibly at Königswinter... Perhaps you could get closer by identifying the unit to which these cars belonged to... Is it SS-23413? or SS-2041X?

            Also the upper photo... The general in sheepskin jacket has a rank of SS-Brigadeführer or higher! The photo came from an estate of Wiking soldier. Thus Wiking generals would be first obvious choices. Also, generals that served with other units, which fought together with Wiking would work... This photo was taken in Soviet Union!

              No they are not. I wouldn't be too sure, allowing for the movement exposure. I still think it looks like SS-Brigadeführer Kumm, but the poor quality makes it difficult.
              I think Mark might be right about von Herff, on the left in the bottom photo. Could be.

                  I believe that lohengrin is right with von Herff.
