Can anyone ID the men in this photo???

[Mike Dunn]

Was wondering if anyone could ID the men in this photo. Thanks Mike

[Mike Dunn]

close up...single cockade, arm patch on left shoulder and rank insigna on left sleeve. Don't think they are German. Any ideas??

Hey Mike!

Show us a closeup of the guy without headgear (shown in first post), please. I find it curious...could be irrelevant, but who knows?

best,

P.S. Definitely not Imperial era; more like late 30's thru the 40's, IMO. Polish,perhaps?

late '40s+, I'd say.

Either Arkansas Turnpike employees, Esso gas station attendants...



or post-war German/Austrian police re-trainees, or Korean war era Bundesgrenzschutz?

Polish Lollipop Gang? Nyuk,nyuk,nyaaaarrrhh,harr,haaaar.

Here is a close up of the guy out of uniform..

From the look on his face one would think that he was the main character of a firing squad episode instead of a swingin' guy in a well-cut suit with badges for the lapel.
