By the way the legend of the picture in the middle of “Four Commanders of the Allied Forces in Berlin” says that the 4th general is de Gaulle but it is clearly not. I think it is de Lattre.

I'm sure you're right; those cheeks are de Lattre and I think de Gaulle always had a moustache.

Plus the five stars.

Makes sense that it's de Lattre as it's probably taken at Potsdam where they "established good relationship"
