Hi Max,

AFAIK those are RAD lorries and mostly RAD uniforms. In the 1st pic the open collar types who seem to be wearing "Deutsche Wehrmacht" armbands are RAD; The buttoned-up fellows in that photo I'm not sure of.

Thank you Markus. I figured the white coveralls could be RAD but I've not seen that particular symbol associated with them before. Doesn't that look like a Heer Adler on the right hand man in the first pic?
Cheers,
Max

It does but can't see Litzen on his collars; wonder what that signifies. Maybe its just the small pic size, can't see any shoulder straps just those breadbag straps or whatever.

Looking closely at the soldier leaning on the truck it appears he may also have the breast Adler.

There are 3 Heer soldiers and 3 RAD men (perhaps the 2 truck drivers and the motorcyclist, look at the caps and collars.

The second photo shows them in work fatigues.

Thank you very much, Ian.
I assume that is some sort of RAD symbol on the truck. Does anyone have a reference picture of it?
Cheers,
Max
