The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Theodor Scheerer in Bulgaria, 3 March 1941, and it shows from left to right: Oberstleutnant i Max-Josef Pemsel (Chef des Generalstabes XVIII. Gebirgskorps), Generalmajor Ferdinand Schörner (Kommandeur 6. Gebirgs-Division), and General der Infanterie Franz Böhme (Kommandierender General XVIII. Gebirgskorps). In the invasion of Greece one month later, the 6th Mountain Division played a role in cutting off the important city of Salonika off from the rest of the nation. Schörner then took part in the conquest of Athens and was given the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes by Hitler on 20 April 1941.

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).
