      Lowering the casket it would appear due to the snow, that the weather changed or the train traveled some distance.

        Moving to the final resting place, there are a number of transitional helmets in this photo.

                Yes it would be interesting to know , however nearly impossible to find out . I have have never seen a firing party of that size that's shown here

                  At least we can tell by the license plate: Luftgaukommando I Königsberg.

                    Thank you for the vehicle ID Trebes, that would close the gap. Therefore the burial could be for a senior officer a highly decorated WW1 ace . As the photos are prior to WW2.
