OK, maybe a silly question, but this photograph looks a bit weird to me, so how do You think, when it could have been made?
Here's what I know:
-It's most likely in Kraków;
-The soviet officers wear overcoats with removable shoulderboards - like pre-58 ones;
-The Polish officeron the pic seems to be wearing a post 1958 overcoat;
-It's most likely late winter/early spring;
-There seems to be a fiat 125p behind the tank - and those were not present in Poland before the 1970's (but can be wrong about the car - only it's back is visible);
No moment of Soviet Tanks and high-rank officers in polish city centers come to my mind other than 1956 - but that would be October (OK, the season could be misidentified) and the polish officer would wear the old-style coat (however, Soviet uniforms seem to fit) and would most likely not be talking with the Soviet militarymen.
Any guess as to what period this could be?
