Dear Didier,
the lower caption on the first flag (from left) reads: "in Deutsch - Südwestafrika" = in German South West Africa:

Nice lion on that flag.

Flag pole finials. If you look close to the photo, you will see that they all have their hand on the finial of the pole being held. Not sure if they are putting them on or removing them.........sobel wrote:To give a original perspective, attached an original image from "Life" magazine to show

Photo description on Bundesarchiv says that they are removing them (iron collection).

Yes, the picture shows how the colonial veterans are spending metalls for the war in 1940.
The second flag right is from the "Verein Südwestafrikanischer Krieger zu Berlin".
