Military Parade in Vienna during Anschluss

Generaloberst Fedor von Bock (Oberbefehlshaber Heeresgruppen-Kommando 3) saluting the Wehrmacht cavalry during a military parade held at Ringstraße, Vienna, on March 14, 1938, two days before the Anschluss (Union) of Austria with Germany. Wearing glasses and a 1918 Stahlhelm Sondermodell on the left is General der Kavallerie Maximilian Reichsfreiherr von Weichs (Kommandierender General XIII. Armekorps), while the Luftwaffe officer on his right is Generalmajor Ludwig Wolff (Höherer Flieger-Kommandeur 5 und Höinherer Kommandeur), followed by Oberst Maximilian de Angelis (Staatssekretär im Bundesministerium für Landesverteidigung Wien) who wore the Austrian military uniform. Standing behind Von Bock in civilian clothes was the Reichsstatthalter Arthur Seyß-Inquart (Leiter der österreichischen Landesregierung), followed by SS-Brigadeführer Ernst Kaltenbrunner ("Staatssekretär für das Sicherheitswesen im Lande Österreich" und Führer des SS-Oberabschnitts Donau) who wore black visor cap behind Seyß-Inquart. One more identification: in civilian clothes behind Von Weichs was Ludwig Ritter von Eimannsberger, a retired General der Artillerie who was later recalled to active duty in August 1938.
