In captivity..
Re: In captivity..
GF84: I dont have the "right" answer, but I don't see any FJ-helmets, but at least one regular stahlhelm is visible, so they could be men from the HG.

Re: In captivity..
Looking at them again,yes there more looking like HGD soldiers,like they look like FJ camo smocks too,but the length just a little shorter.Like they are the luftwaffe field divison camo jackets,like they where made for them first or not right?,but the HGD could use them,but there first camo maybe have been the zeltbahn's then there waffen ss camo.So they wore a mix of camo uniforms for shure in the end of the HGD units.
And no FJ helmets right to be seen,though was it always normal at some stage to take there helmets off them when prisoners at some stage.Like see ones with them,but usualy close to the capture maybe,others later on,they dont have them,just caps or uncovered heads.And all the helmets in dumps,some taken by the allied soldiers,but most would be buried right or something else?,many a collector im shure wish they could have taken as many as they could.
