Thanks .
Also, I thought the guy behind Hitler on the right was Mussolini till I looked to the left corner of the image . They do look kinda familiar .

Here is an extended version of image with more names.

Victor Emmanuel III [& Wife] [RF: Italy RF];Benito Mussolini;Joseph Goebbels;Joachim Von Ribbentrop;Rudolf Hess;Adolf Hitler - LIFE

It will be Joachim Von Ribbentrop.

Hope this helps.

I am sure you know that Ribbentrop was not a military officer, but Foreign Minister (Secretary of State) for the Third Reich.

BTW, his pre-NSDAP career was that of a champagne salesman.
