Scouts in Warsaw Uprising.
Thought this photo deserved it's own thread in the Polish section.

Hunting for Adrian's Soviet woman,(who I'm sure has been named elsewhere) I came across this striking picture.
Volksturm? Russians in Berlin dressing up? Or perhaps more likely the Warsaw uprising?
The site is in a language that means nothing to me but has some excellent images of women in uniform.
Cheers,
Adam.

Er, for the site that you mentioned, using a web-translator, the caption reads "The woman's head covering does not let have in the eyebrow ~~~ war female". Now, that can't be right!!

Chap in middle has Polish cap badge and I've seen Polish troops in Warsaw with white bands on headgear too.
Just tried to Google Polish caps badges and found same photo on here.

errr. yes, that probably is a little misleading. Maybe her hovercraft is full of Eels too?

Cheers Owen, Warsaw seemed most likely.

According to wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szare_Szeregi) the caption reads GS Scouts during the Warsaw Uprising).

Norman Davies in "Uprising '44" describes the former Scout movement in the Uprising. Their duties depended upon age, but the structure was seen as a naturally cohesive. Anyway, people can read it on pages 176-77 or the above article.
