General der Panzertruppe Hasso von Manteuffel (Oberbefehlshaber 5. Panzerarmee) in the summer of 1944. He is wearing a black "Sonderbekleidung Der Deutschen Panzertruppen" (Special clothing of the German tank troops) and also holding wolchowstock, a hand-made carved wood walking stick named after the Wolchow / Volkhov area of the eastern front. This was usually made by German soldiers serving on the Eastern Front during the long periods of inaction, mostly in the winter.
