Divisionskommandeur Otto Kohlermann Inspecting His Unit

Generalmajor Otto Kohlermann (Kommandeur 60. Panzergrenadier-Division "Feldherrnhalle") inspected a unit under his command (Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung Feldherrnhalle?), with SA-Obergruppenführer Max Jüttner (Stellvertretender SA-Stabschef) in the background. This photo was most likely taken on 20 June 1943 when the Panzergrenadier Division "Feldherrnhalle" was reconstituted in southern France after being destroyed in the battle of Stalingrad. Initially the new division was to be named 60. Panzergrenadier-Division, but later it was changed to Panzergrenadier-Division "Feldherrnhalle" as a tribute to the many members of the SA (Sturmabteilung) who joined the unit.
