Re: DRs on a bridge.

I can see at the top the word 'Mole' which means they are probably not on a bridge but on part of a harbour... and leistungsfähiger means powerful, which doesn't help much, maybe propaganda.

Not enough damage to be modern Yarmouth. Hitler did a lot of damage, but not as much as post war planners......:smirk:

Are they DRs? White webbing would suggest Provost Corp.

Re: DRs on a bridge.

They're definitely military police, but somehow they don't look British to me and I can't see what's on the front mudguard. Could they be Czech ?

Re: DRs on a bridge.

I don't think they are Czech as the logo looks different here on the left hand page. On the other page (not shown) they are in Dunkirk and Prague, so it could be any dock or beach in Northern Europe....
