RAD photo question:

[McCulloh]

Here's one of a series of RAD snaps I got recently. But what's up with the caps? Are these guys special RAD or Hiwi RADs? I know (almost) nothing about the subtle differences of RAD uniforms. Thanks

Hello Jeff,

They have the look of a volunteer labor force from a Russian P.O.W. camp.
