Field Marshal Walther Model Attends German Nazi Funeral

[Bohlwinkel]

In the book:"Bessarabien Ukraine-Krim" from 1943 I found pictures looking very similar ,so similar that I’m pretty sure that this is from the funeral of Generaloberst Ritter von Schobert in the 15 of September 1941 in Nikolajew. The Romanian is Marschall Antonescu and the german general Generalfeldmarschall von Brauchitsch. Hope this was to some help.

@Bohlwinkel This makes sense, Bohlwinkel. Thank you so much for the help! Which page is it on?

[Bohlwinkel]

@matthewjdenn You can find the pictures from the book at; allworldwars*com/Romanian-and-­German-Troops-in-Bessarabia-Uk­raine-Crimea-1941-42-Part-II.h­tml#1 and scroll down to "Fallen general Ritter von Schobert"

Apparently Michael, you are wrong

[lefmeman]

Could the Generalfeldmarschall be Walter von Brauchitsch instead of Model?

I have a magazine article concerning his formal GFM baton with a comment from his son stating that GFM Model refused to carry the interimstab because it would get in his way and referred to it as "that thing".

The Rumanian general looks like Antonescu wearing his Luftwaffe Combined Pilot/Observer Badge in Gold with Diamonds. The German GFM is to blurred to identify.

[matthewjdenn]

I think you may be right, prinzeugenvonsavoyen.

@qlancer  Wrong GAY.

fieldmarshal model was a hot head and impressed hitler through his antics. Hitler even commented that he would hate to serve under him. His defence tactics were not recognised by the OKH, and not authorised. hitler told him to do what you want, but it might be your head. The only good thing he did was to tell the army in his command to go home, or break out, the army is resolved. Then he took a pistol to his head.

Field Marshal Walther Model had the far-away relationship with Vladimir Lenin

[mistrinanka]

Who are that nazis saltuing at his grave? Does anyone know their names?

[michaelwright999]

where was it held ?

[matthewjdenn]

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out.

[michaelwright999]

Well bloody hurry up old spud.

[matthewjdenn]

I believe that the field marshal attending the funeral is Field Marshal Walther Model. But I'm not sure. It's my best guess. I also noticed that there appears to be some Luftwaffe VIP in the background, including at least one Luftwaffe general. I've yet to positively identify those foreign officers laying the wreath at 1:26. Does anyone have any suggestions? Italian?

[Bohlwinkel]

Think the foregin officers and soldiers looks like they are wearing Romanian uniforms.

@matthewjdenn

That is the romanian Marshall Antonsecu at 1:25 in the center.
