Misidentification of General Walter and Otto Hartmann


This picture originally published at the end of the war and it erronously identified as General der Artillerie Walter Hartmann, who had just recently awarded the Schwerter to his Ritterkreuz (18 March 1945), while in reality it is a different Hartmann but with the same rank: General der Artillerie Otto Hartmann. In this picture, you can see that the medal was inserted into the photo, a common practice at that time.
