It is true Luko they look like police uniforms but these guys look Slavic and might be helpers to the Wehrmacht according to the soldiers armband to the right of the photo. Im not sure of what country they are from. Just curious.

Under magnification, the arm band reads "Deutsche Wehrmacht", an arm band worn by German non-military personnel and non-German volunteers working for/under the jurisdiction of the German Armed Forces. Usually had a small national color patch to identify the nationality of the wearer, but that is not evident.

The guy with the eagle beak wearing the arm band with the cuff title or another arm band says field police. The first word is Feld the beggining of the next begins with P. The uniforms are standard 8 button police tunics of the period and they would have had orange piping on the tunics and orange background color on the collar tabs for field police. Here is a couple of photos of the type uniform tunics you see in the photo. Steve Ray
