German soldier with flowers

[BlackWatch1]

Is he giving a flower to the girl in front of him I wonder. What is he wearing across his body?

Looks like entry German army to the city. I think they are wearing blankets.

Nice photo.

I was going to say bedroll too...I saw similar rolls on WW1 American soldier photos...

Might be rear echelon troops during the "war of the roses"......This of course before WW2 started and when Germany annexed Czechoslovakia and Austria.....Could also be from the French victory parade....Bodes

Thanks for the suggestions!

Blanket. Too thin for a bed roll.
