Photo - The Boy in the Budenovka!

I don't normally go for photographs, but when I saw this I couldn't resist. What a great outfit, especially the hat! Does anyone have an opinion as to what this photo is about? I know during WWII the Germans and their Eastern Allies kept orphaned boys around as unit mascots, providing them with tailored uniforms that matched those of the other soldiers. Is this likely the case, or is this more likely some officer's son?
