Original photo of German Soldiers, Edelweiss visible
Original photo from my collection. I’m not super sure what group/unit/branch they may have been. You can spot an edelweiss on the cap of one of them. If anyone can determine that I would be grateful. Otherwise just an interesting photo.

Hi Heartfeltzero,
I agree with von thoma, by the way an interesting photo...
Almost all men wear the typical wedge pants (Keilhosen) for the winter time, as well as the winter lace-up shoes. (Gebirgsstiefel)
The men lying on the ground, presumably participants on a "Biathlon" shooting range, use the military sport rifle (Wehrsportgewehr) in .22 caliber to shoot at the targets.

Thanks for sharing, nice photo...
P.S. Is there an inscription on the back, any stamps, numbers, etc.?

That's a pity, maybe you can digitize the photo again in a slightly better quality on a flatbed scanner.
The photo is really interesting, probably a training session for the 1936 Olympics...
A better view of the "officials" in the background would be interesting ?
The photo is good, it just needs some post-processing.
Thanks again, and happy weekend!

P.S. If you, as a photo collector, are not yet using a flatbed scanner, then I highly recommend it, the results will surprise you, you will definitely not regret this purchase...
