Heinrich Trettner and Arnold von Roon

From left to right: Oberst Heinrich "Heinz" Trettner and Major i.G. Arnold von Roon. No information about when and where this pic was taken, but possibly in the period between January - July 1944, when Trettner was delegated with the leadership of 4. Fallschirmjäger-Division in the Italian Front and Roon became his Ia (Chief of Operations). They are both wearing tropenuniform (tropical uniform).

The award ceremony was held on May 24, 1940 in Moerdijk, Netherlands, and handed over by Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring (Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe). The recipients are, from left to right: Oberst Bruno Bräuer (Kommandeur Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1 / 7.Flieger-Division); Hauptmann Fritz Prager (Kommandeur II.Bataillon / Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1 / 7.Flieger-Division); Oberleutnant Horst Kerfin (Chef 11.Kompanie / III.Bataillon / Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1 / 7.Flieger-Division); and Oberst Hans Kreysing (Kommandeur Infanterie-Regiment 16 / 22.Luftlande-Division).

This photo was taken some time after the Ritterkreuz award ceremony for Luftwaffe and Heer officers who excelled in the battles for Rotterdam and the Moerdijk Bridge, which was held on 24 May 1940 in Moerdijk, Netherlands, and was handed over by Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring (Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe).
