Maximilian de Angelis and Eugen Ritter von Schobert

This picture was taken in Void, France, on 18 June 1940 by Kriegsberichter Ulrich from PK (propaganda-Kompanie) 501, and it shows two Wehrmacht generals with their officers. From left to right: Generalmajor Maximilian de Angelis (Kommandeur 76. Infanterie-Division) and General der Infanterie Eugen Ritter von Schobert (Kommandierender General VII. Armeekorps). The original caption from this propaganda picture: "Es geht weiter dem feinde nach: der generalstab des vorwärtsstürmenden korps ist immer vorne bei den truppen um jeder zeit rasche entschlüsse zu fassen" (the enemy continues: The general staff of the advancing army is always with the troops to make quick decisions at any time).
