Identification of a Generalmajor, need help!

[Jvpi]

Dear members,

Here is a photo of a Generalmajor that I haven't identified, picture taken during or after WW1. He was recipient of the Royal Prussian Order of Saint John. I hope someone could help. Many thanks!

Best regards,
Jvpi

I don’t know but it’s a very good quality photo. It looks like an early war photo to me based on the awards. I could be wrong…

Generalmajor Paul von Strantz (1859-1928) Born in Treptow and died in Bückeberg.

Originally a former GGR 1 officer. He was commanding IR 25 at the mobilisation in 1914. he went on to command 29. Infanterie-Brigade followed by the 29. infanterie-Brigade (home command).

Glenn ;
Very good
I knew that I had seen him before
I just could not put a name to him
I am pretty sure that I have a different photo
of him in another uniform
I may have one of his shoulder straps
Well done

I knew that I have a different photo of him
Here he is in a Feldgrau uniform
He wears the ribbon bar
my Rang list shows that 2.2. 1917 he is Chef of I R 50
I have a single shoulder strap of his as chef of I R 50
It's a small world .

Steve,
This is a different Strantz. General der Infanterie Hermann von Strantz. They do share a similar look, I assume they're relatives?

Sorry I did not notice the first names

They were brothers.

Here is a photo from his time in GGR 1.

Thanks
I should have known if you did not list him
as Chef of I R 50
then it would not have been the same General

I think it could be General der Infanterie Walther von Lüttwitz

Morning all,

his medal bar and principle neck orders clearly show an officer of the Royal Württemberg Army;

Generalmajor Gustav Köhler (1864-1920), an artillery officer and ultimately commander of 54. Reserve-Division.
