Ciao Carlo

We can exclude Schreder. In fact, he was promoted to major-general posthumously on April 20, 1943 with seniority rank December 1, 1941.
Schneider could be:

Schopper also could be:

Ciao Carlo, what's the piece of paper tucked under the sweatband?

[DonC]

Schobert is out as he would have had silver insignia.

Hallo DonC

He was a Generaloberst when he died in still quite mysterious circumstances, along with his driver, Flugzeugführer (Staffelkapitän) Hptm. Wilhelm Suwelack of Kurierstaffel n. 7, on September 12, 1941 at Dimitriewka north of Bereslaw for a forced landing in a minefield or shot down by a Soviet fighter. However, the bodies were recovered and properly buried in Nikolaev the next September 15 in the presence of Antonescu, von Brauchitsch and von Manstein:

Hi Ben it's antitarme paper (against flies)

Agree, congrats.....

Beautiful cap!! It has always been my understanding that German generals used silver insignia on their caps until 1943. At that point they changed to gold insignia. Nonetheless still a beautiful cap.

Hallo DonC

I agree: HV 42B, no. 863 of November 16, 1942 established the use of the gilt wreath and hoheitsabzeichen for the Generals and therefore well after the death of von Schobert.

So he, like was logical, goes off the list of eligible candidates.
