Well I had a younger Guderian picture I was holding onto, but that's shot. 
OK, he's more famous standing next to famous people and serving as their messenger. I'm not sure if he ever had a combat command.

LTC Sidney L. Huff? If that's a star instead of a silver leaf on his shoulder, then I will retract my guess.

Not that I'm aware of.
Two hints: the picture was taken in 1935 and one of the men in the picture was killed in action in 1939.

Third from the left, Generaloberst Werner von Fritsch, KIA in Poland, September 1939. If Wikipedia is to be believed, he is former CINC of the German army, and the first German general to be KIA during WWII.
Third from the right, Reichswehrminister and later Generalfeldmarschall Werner von Blomberg.
Both men removed from their positions by scandals engineered by Goering.

I believe that looks like Hermann Goering in the right front.

Russian sniper rifle, not Zaitsev, could be Larry Thorne?
