    alright a hint: he was executed by firing squad in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, for his role as the commander of the German Air Force units involved in the Bombing of Belgrade in 1941.

    Nothing I did other than Googling. Your hint gave it away.

    If you've been following threads closely, it should make identifying this general officer easier.

    I think he was a corps commander in Europe. I'll get back to looking.

    Correct. Married Eva Braun's sister thus making him Hitler's brother-in-law. Your turn.

    Is that a single star on Patton's Helmet? Must be way back. LOL. Lucius Clay.....I was thinking of Lucian Truscott.

    How about Lloyd Fredendall?

    Not Fredendall. I think Patton is wearing the stars of a MajGen, he should have been a MG at the time this picture was made. The picture was made in the CONUS, while Patton was in command of the 2nd Armored Division.

    The general in question had a major influence on US armored doctrine and armor production.
