    Default Pictures of Gestapo Men

    I have only seen a few that have been positively attributed to Gestapo men (outside of i.d. docs). This is a group of them pictured during the "white buses" action in 1945. Note that they appear to be in their 40's and 50's:

    Hi

    Is it possible to get a closer look at the uniforms ??
    Swedish ??
    Danish ??

    In the beginning of april 1945 the first "white busses" went to Germany to find scandinavian
    prisoners and bring them back to Sweden.

    The last "swedish" busses left Germany the 20. april 1945.


    But as soon as the germans had surrendered they started up again with a mix af scandinavians as drivers
    and helpers etc....

    The last "White busses" was in Germany in june 1945.

    It was the swedish Red Cross who made the first transports.
    And we must not forget the swedish count Bernadotte in this story

    But i dont know if the civilians are from Gestapo... Sorry !!!!
    But it was a SS-operation made by Himmler and Count Bernadotte

    The two in Mufti are true to the Hollywood vision of themselves:

    Never mind Hollywood, the two in civvies on the bottom picture look like they should be limping around with Herr Flick of the 'Allo 'Allo series!
