My mom inherited a photo album which once belonged to a WW2 German soldier. Can anyone recognize any of these faces? (imgur link)

Ok! I think I have something

Hitler receives a briefing on the tactical situation in Poland from General List (with glasses). Behind Hitler are General Keitel and General Yodl (with forage cap) both of the Supreme Armed Forces HQ. Sept 1939. http://www.allworldwars.com/image/146/WithHitlerInPoland065.jpg

List? http://i.imgur.com/P7HyplD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/P0nb5SQ.jpg

Keitel (back) and List? http://i.imgur.com/wmJzjI2.jpg

I'd be interested if anyone knows what those stars are on their chests in several photos:

Even though it was my first thought, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any German soldiers wearing the Jewish Star.

Is it a name tag for a party maybe? Some sort of coarse anti-semitic humor?

Is there any reason why I might recognise the majority of these pictures? Do you know where-else they have been shown?

Ok, I speak absolutely no German but someone else was looking for the guy whose name appears in the back of one of the photos: Köhler. I'll post an edit in a sec when I switch apps (on mobile). Is that name identifying someone in one of the photos?
