Heinrich von Vietinghoff with His Staff Officer

This photograph of Akira Takiguchi's personal collection shows, from left to right: General der Panzertruppe Heinrich von Vietinghoff-Scheel (Kommandierender General XXXXVI. Armeekorps [motorisiert]) and Major im Generalstab Joachim Sadrozinski (Ia Operationsführer XXXXVI. Armeekorps [motorisiert]). They are chatting in front of an Omnibus which functioned as the Befehlswagen (Command Vehicle) of the Corps. Note: ① unit marking of the corps, ② carmine color trouser stripe for general staff officers, ③ deep red color stripe for generals, and ④ "Befehlswagen Ia" (command vehicle for the operation officer). There is no information when and where this photo was taken, but most likely in Russia in the summer of 1941 during Unternehmen Barbarossa. In the German invasion of the Soviet Union, XXXXVI. Armeekorps (motorisiert) operates in the central sector of the Eastern Front and is under the command of Heeresgruppe Mitte. Von Vietinghoff became Commander-General of XXXXVI. Armeekorps (motorisiert) from 1 November 1940 to 10 June 1942 (when the motorized infantry corps was upgraded to a panzer corps), while Sadrozinski became Head of Operations of XXXXVI. Armeekorps (motorisiert) from October 1940 to May 1942.
