The first photo looks to be a couple of Russians posing. The tunics do not look German and the belt on the one holding the Tok doesn't look German. Probably just my tired old eyes.
Best to all.

Haaa. I'll bet they are Finns. That is why the disk is missing from the belted pistol and explains the Tok and tunics.

My first thought was that the right hand soldier looks like the 'servant' in "The Manchurian Candidate" (the first one). Then I thought that the left soldier looks African-American...Maybe a movie pic???

The pic is labeled The Continuation War...
