Akira: Thanks for the note. Unfortunately, I do not have the history of le.Flak-Abt.71. I think I remember seeing it at some time, but that was before I had acquired Grodde's photo.

Denis and Daniel: Thank you both for your potential identification of Sepp Prentl. The chin does sort of look like him. Other than the award date given in Fellgiebel, I do not have any other information on him. Do you know what units he served in? Fellgiebel has him winning the award with Flak-Regiment 29, but ritterkreuz.de says Flak-Regiment 231. Both say Eichenlaub as Major and Kommandeur of Flak-Regiment 116. Any further info on him?

This is one last unknown, this time an Eichenlaubträger of the Luftwaffe. The Oberstleutnant standing behind him has the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen, so I am thinking this is maybe an FJ Eichenlaubträger? I've looked through my sources, but can not match the face with any FJ Eichenlaubträger that I am aware of. Any thoughts?

Hi Jason,
Gen Wolfgang Pickert, EL 489?
Cheers
Elwyn

Hi Elwyn,

Thanks! That does look exactly like him, and fits the written note on the back of the photo, which is a town name in Germany (hard to read, maybe "Laufenhausen" ?) October 1944. I think that is right around the time III. Flakkorps would have been rebuilding after destruction in Falaise.

Hi

Elwyn is right, this is Pickert.

See that the soldier in front of Pickert is shown giving the political salute which became the official one in the whole Wehrmacht after the 20th July bomb attempt.

Regards
Denis
