Re: Reichsbahn Photos-Who, What, Where and When?

The MAn with his back to camera, carrying Box and the one in train doorway, and 2 men facing the camera do NOT have German style greatcoats... they look Russian due to the fact the Russians used a clasp rather than buttons in some of their coats....I am not sure what the Italian great coats looked like.....IT is possible they are Italians. I was going by the style of greatcoats. Just wanted to put forth a theory that they could be Hiwis too. Maybe one of our uniform experts will step up and knows what an Italian Greatcoat looks like??? Hmmm????

Now that I look again....the hats don't look Russian....
