Hitler with Schultz, Lange, Tolsdorff, Pape and Bäke


Adolf Hitler (Führer und Oberster Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht) congratulating Heer officers for their newly awarded Eichenlaub of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes. The picture was taken at the Führerhauptquartier Wolffschanze on 15 September 1943. The recipients are, from left to right: Oberst Paul Schultz (blocked by Hitler, Kommandeur Grenadier-Regiment 308 / 198.Infanterie-Division, Eichenlaub #284), Oberst der Reserve Dr.med.dent. Walter Lange (Kommandeur Grenadier-Regiment 43 / 1.Infanterie-Division, Eichenlaub #300), Major Theodor Tolsdorff (Kommandeur I.Bataillon / Füsilier-Regiment 22 / 1.Infanterie-Division, Eichenlaub #302), Oberst Günther Pape (Kommandeur Panzergrenadier-Regiment 394 / 3.Panzer-Division, Eichenlaub #301), and Major der Reserve Dr.med.dent. Franz Bäke (Kommandeur II.Abteilung / Panzer-Regiment 11 / 6.Panzer-Division, Eichenlaub #262). Interestingly, two out of the five officers who depicted in this picture are certified dentists (Lange and Bäke)!
