A small cross is handed to a civilian

Close by the flags, a stocky man in uniform, his grey hair cropped short and his collar patches embroidered, holds a small four-armed cross between his fingers and hands it to a smiling civilian in a dark suit and tie; behind them stands a young man with slicked-back hair. The cross appears to be the War Merit Cross, instituted in 1939 for service outside combat. The source names Gerd von Rundstedt among those presenting awards to civilians; the man here cannot be identified with certainty.
