Wehrmacht generals pose together in front of a wooden house in the central sector of the Eastern Front. Standing in the front row, from left to right: Generalfeldmarschall Ernst Busch (Oberbefehlshaber Heeresgruppe Mitte), Generaloberst Walter Weiss (Oberbefehlshaber 2. Armee), Generalleutnant Hans Krebs (Chef des Generalstabes Heeresgruppe Mitte), General der Infanterie Friedrich Hoßbach (Kommandierender General LVI. Panzerkorps), General der Artillerie Rudolf Freiherr von Roman (Kommandierender General XX. Armekorps), and Generalleutnant Hans Speth (Führer-Reserve Oberkommando des Heeres). Standing directly behind Weiss is Generalleutnant Gustav Harteneck (Kommandeur 72. Infanterie-Division). This photo was taken in May 1944 by Kriegsberichter Thiemann of Propaganda-Kompanie 670. Just one month later, this area under the command of Heeresgruppe Mitte fell apart after the Red Army launched Operation Bagration!Source :
