WSS picture With knight cross

[zozole]

Hey guys!
Found this picture some years back but never showed it for the community..

Is there any chance to ID the knight cross holder on the left? And who is doing the talking ?

Any opinions or thoughts about this pic is more then welcome

Cheers

Emil

I don't know who is speaking, but my first thought when seeing the photo was Rudolf Seitz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Seitz
