I do not think these men are Norwegian. Could be Transport Speer members They wore some Luftwaffe uniform pieces).

Could you post a close up of the collar tab?

Thanks

Some Norwegians did serve in the luftwaffe, but i'm also curious to know why you believe these men to be Norwegian?

Simon, the individual who sold the picture made that statement. I ran a search and found the Norwegian Emblem , at Wikipedia the top of the emblem has a crown. That looked very similar to the emblem , these officers are wearing . The overseas cap is Luftwaffe, I have never seen a German Officer wear anything on their greatcoat lapels.

Those are just regular luftwaffe rank patches.

Something to know about Norway during WWII. When Germany invaded the royal family refused to have anything to do with the Germans and went to the UK in exile where they became the symbol of Norwegian resistance. As a result and also due to the installation of the Nasjonal Samling Quisling regime, any symbols to do with norwegian royalty were banned as symbols of resistance.

Apart from SS officers of course.

What do you mean apart from SS officers?

IMO, there is nothing that reflects the nationality of these officers.
