    Close.

    He was the first and only general from this country to be killed by enemy action.

    No, not him, but you have the correct country.

    I guess Glogojanu was technically was killed by enemy action, but I was thinking more of a "combat" death in a forward area and not a death as the result of a booby trap explosion in a building.

    Ladies and Gentleman, Ike has come through in the clutch with the answer.

    I had his name as Alecu Ioan Sion.

    Give him a round of applause.

    Now the torment begins...

    Here's an easy one. Is pictured here as a Waffen SS Oberfuhrer but last held rank was SS Brigadefuhrer and one of my favorites.

    Yup. Easy like I said. Last command was that of the 12 SS Panzer Divsion Hitlerjugend and was killed when his HQ was bombarded. Panzer Meyer took over. All yours

    He could have doubled for another general in more than stature

    Man that was quick. You are correct. Sperrle rivaled Goring in taste for art, loot, uniform medals, food and weight.
