German Luftwaffe soldiers?

[ComradeYouri]

There aren't many photographs of the Germans during the occupation of my area but I came across these photographs which were taken during the liberation.
Now I know there were FLAK personnel and most likely also regiments from the 6. Fallschirmjäger-Division stationed in the area (thats about the only thing I can find that may relate to this).
It looks like one soldier has the Luftwaffe eagle visible on the M43 cap (most left soldier holding the wounded soldier) but I'm not too knowledgeable to pinpoint what kind of division these soldiers would have been.

Where is this, please? I agree with the Luftwaffe connection - Unfortunately, I can't see any other identifying clues...

This is in Deventer, The Netherlands.

The soldier with spectacles in the first photo looks to be wearing a knochensack, but of course Fallschirmjäger from the time of liberation were not the Green Devils of the 1940-41 glory days, but infantry.

Yes, I keep thinking I see the camo pattern too.

Update: I found the same soldiers on video footage, as part of a nice small documentary on YouTube.


Interestingly, it looks like the soldier on the right is from a Heer unit (I think the cap has the Heer eagle).

Also, later on at 7:07 German POW's are being filmed and I'm not sure but the uniforms look very mixed but maybe some experts see the obvious differences.

More likely a field division, though, as BlackCat says, these once elite units were now only so in name. In latter months, large numbers of specialist arms were being reorganised and thrown into the line (often due to a lack of equipment and resources, as well as the generally desperate situation), in the scratch Kampfgruppen.
‘Uniform’ was also becoming a lose term, with many wearing an assortment of items of Heer and Luftwaffe origin, within the same unit.
