German Victory Parade in Warsaw (1939)


Victory Parade of the German 8th Army in Warsaw, held on 5 October 1939. From left to right: Adolf Hitler (Führer und Oberster Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht), Generalmajor Friedrich-Carl Cranz (Commander of the 18th Infantry Division), General der Artillerie Emil Leeb (Commanding General of XI Army Corps), Generaloberst Wilhelm Keitel (Chief of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht), General der Kavallerie Maximilian Reichsfreiherr von Weichs (wearing glasses, partially obscured by Blaskowitz, Commanding General of XIII Army Corps), Generaloberst Johannes Blaskowitz (Commander-in-Chief of the 8th Army), Generaloberst Walther von Reichenau (behind Blaskowitz, only his cap is visible; Commander-in-Chief of the 10th Army), and General der Flieger Albert Kesselring (Chief of Luftflotte 1). BTW, standing directly below Hitler is Erwin Rommel, who at that time was still a Generalmajor and served as commander of the Führer-Begleit-Bataillon (Führer’s Escort Battalion). Photo by Hugo Jaeger, one of Hitler’s personal photographers.
