Hi,

Can anyone help here?
What kind of helmets are these?
Are these HJ with tropical helmets?
Thank you,
Lohengrin

Unique for sure.... look like simple cloth hats/helmets...(not hard cork pith helmet type)... no insignia... possibly a form of local "ethnic" or "festival" headgear....possibly being worn by non-German HJ types (No armbands in evidence- but HJ Flag is clear. ).... but just guessing/speculating. Interesting photo...

Thank you very much gentlemen!

I received two e-mails claiming that they are either US HJ or Brazilian?
I think this photo was taken in Germany... Please see the photo! Anyone can recognize the flags?
