Strange group of pix--being sold as "Former Nazi Soldiers assists Refugees to get on board some boxcars on a train to go the World YMCA center in the US-British zone in post war Germany."

IMO, it is for some immediate postwar documentary.

The slightly iffy uniforms (Luftwaffe Adler worn on the left breast, Lebel rifle?, armband, peculiar pistol in a US holster, &c.), all put me in mind of a low-budget, post-war cinema film, perhaps private snapshots taken on set...

I agree, the whole thing is quite strange, especially with the DR cars marked to the Brit/US zones.
I don't understand the YMCA connection if a documentary/film:
A few more pics:

This hat is alleged to have been screen-worn in the 1969 movie, "Battle of Britain":

This movie was my first introduction to Imperial U-boat visor hats: The Land that Time Forgot (1975):

[Nacogdochian]

Joachim Paul Asböck as Maj. Fritz Heinrich Prinz commanding the 254th Hessian Reserve Infantry in the Lost Battalion is a true-to-life 2001 made-for-television war drama film about the Lost Battalion of World War I, which was cut off and surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of 1918. Well worth watching.

[Wilko]

A little known but fairly good film from 2016. It was made on a low budget but it is quite a good watch on a rainy day.
