Visit of Walther von Brauchitsch to Balkan


This photo was taken in May 1941 during Von Brauchitsch's visit to the Balkans shortly after the Germans occupied Greece and Yugoslavia. It looks like that the Army Commander in Chief is inspecting the array of German war machines used in recent military campaigns. The cannon in the back is a Flak 30 (Flugabwehrkanone 30) 20mm caliber but without a towing vehicle underneath, and is mounted on a trailer. For the identification of the people, from left to right: 1.Oberstleutnant Heinz von Gyldenfeldt (Erster Generalstabsoffizier beim Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres), 2.Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch (Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres), 3.Oberstleutnant i.G. Max-Josef Pemsel (Chef des Generalstabes XVIII. Gebirgskorps), 4.Generalmajor Ferdinand Schörner (Kommandeur 6. Gebirgs-Division), and General der Infanterie Franz Böhme (Kommandierender General XVIII. Gebirgskorps).
