Two Young Men in Military-Style Uniform Before a Warehouse Door, Germany, WWII Era
Two young men in military-style dress pose before the corrugated steel door of a dockside warehouse. Their uniforms -- a belted greatcoat and a short field jacket, both paired with garrison caps -- are typical of the clothing worn by German servicemen and laborers in the closing and immediate postwar years of WWII, when photographs like this were often taken informally among comrades.
