General der Infanterie Werner Kienitz

General der Infanterie Werner Kienitz (Kommandierender General XVII. Armeekorps) and his staff officers looking at ancient pillars in France. The picture was probably taken in May-June 1940, when Kienitz and his corps were stationed in Aisne, France. Between 11 and 13 November 1939, XVII. Armeekorps was transferred to France, and from January 1940 onwards it was placed under reserve in the 2. Armee. During the second phase of the Western campaign, XVII Corps was transferred in June 1940 to the 12th Army and deployed for the attack on the Aisne.
