German leaders gathered in Ehrentribüne during Luftwaffe demonstration in Tiergartenstraße (Berlin) on the occasion of the visit of Prince Regent Paul of Yugoslavia, 2 June 1939. Standing in the front row from left to right: Adolf Hitler (Führer und Reichskanzler), Prince Regent Paul of Yugoslavia (blocked by Göring), Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring (Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe), Großadmiral Erich Raeder (Oberbefehlshaber der Kriegsmarine), Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch (Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres), Generaloberst Wilhelm Keitel (Chef Oberkommando der Wehrmacht), and two diplomats: Konstantin von Neurath (Reichsprotektor in Böhmen und Mähren) and Ernst von Weizsäcker (Staatssekretär des Auswärtigen Amtes), father of the later German Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker. We can see perfectly Göring with the sash and the Grand Cross of the yugoslavian Order of the White Eagle. Raeder and Von Neurath wear the same sash, while Von Brauchitsch wear the blue sash and Grand Cross of the Order of Yugoslavian Crown. Von Weizsäcker wears the Order of Saint Sava. What about Hitler? as was usual, didn't receive any foreign award from his visitor...
