I have a hypothesis about this photograph... I think it correlates to a concluding section of one of the World at War episodes... in that short piece of film, a surrendered German soldier is pictured wearing similar footwear and then the camera pans up and back while he walks off into the blowing snowdrifts... I think that this photo shows (if you examine it closely) the rotating lenses (on the right side of the image) of a motion picture camera... The man pointing with the stick may be directing the camera man to begin the shot of the man's footwear. What do you think?

Looks like he is checking if there's no gun in the German soldier boots.
