This picture was taken during another meeting of former officers of AOK 6. The year is unknown.

We can not recognize them all. Second from left is certainly Arthur Schmidt. I think fourth and

fifth from left is Wilhelm Arnold and Herbert Selle. Right in front with the glasses is Josef Linden.

Left in the corner might be Dietrich Sewing but I’m not sure.

Wilhelm Arnold and Herbert Selle.

I would like to thank Tim Ullrich VERY much for the pictures. Tim Ullrich is the great grandson of

Major August Ullrich – former Commander Headquarters Company AOK 6 at Stalingrad.
