Is this a composite picture with the Brandenburg Gate of Berlin in the background?
The Uniform-is this a Todt Organiztion insignia on the shirt sleeve?

The fallen soldier on the first picture is wearing a RAD uniform. The Reich Arbeit Dienst actually formed a couple of infantry division in 1945 and most of its personnel was trained in light infantry tactics since 1943.

Reich Labor Service?
Re: German Casualty photograph {Warning Graphic}
Yes, Reichs Labor Service..... Many other RAD units/personnel were used as combat troops or caught up in the fighting.... on "all fronts".... not to mention in the "Volksstrum.....
Not saying the picture wasn't "posed" (body dragged for best effect, for example)..... but a KIA dead RAD guy in Berlin 1945 is certainly "real enough"....
