Around Gen Falkenhorst’s neck he is wearing his Knight’s Cross at his throat with his Brandenburg Order of St. John’s Cross with Crown in a secondary position. Interestingly, Gen Siilasvuo is also wearing a Brandenburg Order of St. John’s Cross with Star on his tunic with another St. John’s cross around his neck.

The car is an American-made 1938 Buick. Beside the car is Oberstleutnant Münch of the Wehrmacht.
