Studio Portrait of Otto Von Knobelsdorff in 1944


General der Panzertruppe Otto von Knobelsdorff (Kommandierender General XXXX. Panzerkorps) in a photo that was published on 21 September 1944, the day he received the Schwerter for his Ritterkreuz. Photographer: Presse-Illustrationen Heinrich Hoffmann. Hoffmann (1885–1957) was Adolf Hitler's personal photographer and ran a major photo agency (Presse-Illustrationen Heinrich Hoffmann) that supplied images to German newspapers, magazines, and propaganda outlets. Many formal military portraits and award ceremonies from the Third Reich period carry this credit, especially studio or posed shots of high-ranking officers wearing decorations like the Ritterkreuz and above.
