Is this a mailman from the Reichspost?

Hello everybody,

can you confirm if this man wears an uniform of the Reichspost? (see the picture attached, it's from my private collection)

Another question: I believe that this picture could have been taken in Generalgouvernement but don't know if the uniforms were the same as in the Reich. Could you please clarify.

Take care,
TR.

Yes it is Reichspost uniform. I would think Deutsche Post Osten was operating in GG. Uniform symbols were different.
Any chance to have a clearer photo? Text on the right could be decisive in finding location.
Movie poster on the left probably can't help much.

Hello Greg,

thanks a lot for the reply. I'm not sure if I can get a better scan, the original photo is tiny.
I'll try to get hold of a better scanner and try again.

Take care,
TR.
