It's definately v. Bock, then Rommel, then Manstein. It's just a painting of all Hitler's 'top' commanders. No 'front' specified. It it WAS all just eastern front, then surely Sperrle has no place there? He never even smelled Russian air.

Not sure about the top officer but the officer reveiving the award appears to be Oberst (later Genmaj) Hans Bruckmann, the deutsche Militärattaché in Sofia. I don't believe it is the same man as above.
