Wow! Great photos Brian.
My unedjucated guess would be Romanians. Those in the first set look to be in pretty good shape, and the compound is definitely not what we in the west have heard Soviet POW camps looked like.
The photo with the German's reading the paper looks almost staged; the men have a funny look about them. Then again if I was staring down a dozen PPSh-41 barrels I'd look funny too.
As far as the German Genral goes I don't know. But I could post the image elsewhere and perhaps get an ID if that would help?
In any event a great find!
