Here's a couple of lucky solders sometime in September 1944, to find themselves stationed far away from the West, East and the Italian theaters, on the Swiss Frontier.

Unusual to use barbed wire as something to lean on. Any idea what the German soldier is holding, a shovel? Maybe they are on leave? The Swiss look like they came to a fight compared to the Germans who look rather lackadaisical.

I suspect the Germans are on a work detail of some kind, as they are neither armed or even wearing belts, the one hold what I believe is a shovel is a ve, got te Wound Badge in Silver.

Date and location on frontier unknown. The Nazi banner, don't think we ever seen one like it, is it familiar to anyone else?
