The anti Google cheating method is really just a 30 sec inconvenience if one wishes to cheat; save the image, crop it in Paint, upload to imgur.com, right-click search Google for this image.

Well thanks! This should make it much easier for everyone.

That calm face, when the fascist mutineers were approaching Mardid, he must be Manuel Azana, the last president of the Spanish Republic, when Molla, Goded and Franco decided it was time for a nice, traditional pronunciamento. +1 for the effort to prevent the google cheating. I tested and indeed the search points towards the Prado museum.

That is indeed correct =)

Yeah well, that's why I added the other pictures, I was hoping no one went through the trouble of doing that xD I'll have to find some more complex method

Time for the next pic. Inspired by Nicolasete, I edited the image a bit. The person I'm asking about is the WWI general in the orange circle, not Khan Boris or the EW map As a hint, it could be said that he was one of the military leaders of his nation's army:

[Abdülmecid I]

That's right, Scharfrichter. He was the leader of the Portuguese forces, so now it's your turn!

[Scharfrichter]

anyone can have my turn

[Flavius Aemilianus Finnicus]

i´ll take it

[Spear Dog]

Finnish Jaeger-General Vaino .L.R. Valve, the last surviving Trooper (I admit I don't quite know what that references exactly as he was a veteran of both WW1 and WW2 and fought for both Finland and Germany).

p.s. L.R = Lahja Rikhard, I had to translate the wiki page - which translated his middle names as 'Gift Richard'.

[Flavius Aemilianus Finnicus]

Correct! your turn + rep added

[Spear Dog]

I've had a couple of posts knocked over in quick time lately, lets see how you go with this.....

[Spear Dog]

The above photo appears in his biography but gives few clues, so here's a more typical image of this well famous person:

[Scharfrichter]

warsitz? forgot his first name tough, but i believe he was a pilot during ww2 and trained others?

[Spear Dog]

Yes, Erich Warsitz . The German test pilot who became the first jet pilot in the Heinkel He.178, he also flew the first purpose built rocket plane, the Heinkel He.176 (the version flown is the one depicted in the diagram on the linked page, a photo of it can be found in the ID plane,tank,ship etc thread here - #4010) and many others. At the end of the war he was kidnapped by the Russians and spent 5 years in a Siberian gulag when he refused to co-operate.

I find it interesting that when searching for photos of him, there were none of him uniform. I think this is very unusual for a hero of the Reich and can only conclude it to be the result of some deliberate action to remove such photos from the record. Any insights or thoughts on this, anybody?

[chesser2538]

I found some.

Yeah, I saw that one but I wasn't convinced it's him. This guy looks older (Warsitz was only 39 at the end of the war) - look at the hands.

Chesser's picture is Walter von Brauchitsch, one of the most incompetent people in the Wehrmacht.

[Scharfrichter]

[vikior]

Hermann Hoth.

From the picture picture you can clearly see that he's German, and there seems to be a shack in the background, which immidiately popped up as "Eastern Front" in my head

Then, a google search of "German generals in Russia" revealed it

[Scharfrichter]

correct!

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

Yo Chesser, where my rep at boy!
