If they are reenactors they are actually depicting Waffen SS troops, although their unit is not apparent. I too would suggest that this is not an original photograph. The quality of the photo is too good and as mentioned above they do look well fed. I do have images of Waffen SS troops from the Leibstandate Adolf Hitler and Das Reich Divisions with caputed Soviet banners and will post them up as soon as I scan them. The Waffen SS is a bit of speciality of mine

This is what a real Waffen SS unit should look like when they capture a Soviet banner....
Can anybody identify the banner...?
