Help naming unknown Officer(s)
I have been sorting through some photos I had saved some time ago. A few unfortunately are not named.
Does anyone know who this General is?
Thank you
Pierce

Hi!
I`m not sure, but could it be Oberst Walter Gorn ( he commanded Inf div 710 in the end of the war, 1944/45)

Unfortunately no, the awards do not match up.

Sorry, but there is no way it could be Gorn. Gorn was awarded the Ritterkreuz and the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold as a Major, the Eichenlaub as an Oberstleutnant, and the Schwertern as an Oberst. This General is wearing none of these, which is inconceivable.
Best regards,
VJK
