This interesting, original color photo by Carl Gustav Rosenqvist was
taken on August 10, 1942 and shows German and Finnish high-ranking
officers crossing the Ladoga lake in Finland using Siebelfähre (Siebel's
Freight / Ferry Boat) owned by Einsatzstab Fähre Ost (EFO), a Luftwaffe
unit in Finland. This ferry operates around the Lake Ladoga region
along with Italian MTB (12. Squadriglia MAS) and German mine ships from
C-Gruppe / 31.Minensuch-Flottilla. From left to right: Oberstleutnant
der Reserve Friedrich-Wilhelm Siebel (Kommandeur Einsatzstab Fähre Ost);
Finnish Colonel Eino Iisakki Järvinen (Commander of the Lake Ladoga
Beach Brigade), and two unknown Luftwaffe officers (the one on the far
right is from the Flak unit based from his waffenfarbe). Original
description from SA-Kuva - Finland: "During an inspection of the German
Navy (Einsatzstab Fähre Ost) in Lahti, the invited guests set out on an
infantry boat from where Colonel Keller received the parade. Bay bottom,
Ladoga." Please note that if it's referred to Generaloberst Alfred
Keller, so the ID is wrong because it is NOT him.
