Wehrmacht winter training in the barracks, pre-war or early-war period. The picture come from the color slide estate of Siegfried Keller. Looking at other frames, this unit appears to be a Machinengewehr-Bataillon (you can see "M" on their shoulder boards). It is most probably MG-Bataillon 8 whose peacetime base was Züllichau im Wehrkreis III. It is also interesting that the guy marching the formation is wearing a Schützenschnur. Still awarded today!
