File talk:Folke Bernadotte-1943.jpg
The caption to this photo is wrong. Those Australians are from the army...the vast majority of Australian PoW in Germany were from the RAAF. Those men are not wearing the desert gear Australian infantry used in North Africa. Also, look at the men, they appear decked out in their gear, with slouch hats, not likely if they were captured in combat, then shipped to Germany and sent to a camp. While Australians did wear the slouch hat in combat - mostly in the steaming jungles of PNG against the Japanese - in North Africa they usually wore their metal helmets for protection from flying rock, shrapnel etc from rounds striking close by. Also, they can't be PoW captured at Crete - that was in 1941. This photo was taken in 1943. Why would Aussies PoWs be on a train, in Germany, smiling and still wearing their kit, two years after being captured?
