    Photo of soldiers

    Hi to all!

    I have this picture. I don't know if it has any historical one and how it got to Poland. The picture shows several soldiers following one another into the courtyard of a building. They are shown from behind and it is hard to say whether they are US ARMY or Bundeswer soldiers. Photo is dated March? 1958.
    The dimensions of the photo are 18 cm by 13 cm.
    Regards

    It's difficult to make out, but to me it looks like they're carying the FN Gewehr, and are wearing schaftstiefeln ( knobelbecher).

      RJKG,

      They are definitely carrying FNs. My gut feeling says Austria but the policeman on your left appears to be wearing German insignia on his collars.

        Hi,

        "Rückgabe des Generalkommandos
        März 1958
        Deutsches Wachkommando zieht ein"

        It was meant the building of the former Generalkommando XI in Hannover.

        In 1958 it is the new place for the Wehrbereichskommando II https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:...e_Hannover.jpg

            Thank you to all Men for your interest in the subject. And Mr. Uwe for solving the riddle and translating the description of the photo from German.
            That is, they are soldiers of the German Bundeswehr.
            Regards All
