From left to right: Generalmajor Gerhard Kauffmann (Kommandeur 256. Infanterie-Division) and Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch (Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres). The picture was taken in the period between July 1940 (Brauchitsch's promotion to Generalfeldmarschall) and April 1941 (Kauffmann's promotion to Generalleutnant). Brauchitsch is wearing the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes which he received on 30 September 1939. Kauffmann himself would receive the same medal on 9 July 1941 during Unternehmen Barbarossa.
