It's the one mit dem großen Tor, wo steht eine Laterne...

Hey wait a minute - wasn't Schultz Lufwaffe?

Yes, Shultz was LW; you can see the gull collar tabs of his rank insignia in that pic. The LW was in charge of the prison camps for enemy pilots and aircrew, such as Col. Hogan. I'm not sure why Lebeau would have been there.

All the troops shown in the all the pictures of this thread are LW. Whatever CD the OP bought must have been about the Luftwaffe.

Can't get a good look at the muzzles of the rifles, but they look like Polish Wz.29 rifles. The Germans used them pretty extensively also. In the first picture, the guy on the left "might" have a Polish K98 (K98AZ copy) but again, I can't get a good enough look at it.

The second picture, I'm gonna say Wz.29's again, especially since you can see the straight bolt handles with the K98k style cutout on the stock. The one in the middle is weird since the barrel looks like it's partially cut down, not sure if it's a flaw in the photo or not though

I thought momentarily that they were all wearing Uggs.

Found these up on the Northeastshooters forum (credit to: JuergenG). Had no idea that Berthier M16 carbines were German issued as well. Learned something new today.
On Lebel R35s and MAS 36s you'll occasionally find an arsenal acceptance mark applied after a captured arm had been inspected and passed. Some common German marks on French arms are KRU, LK5 and LK7. No waffenamts, if you see 'em run away.

Spotted this blurb in wikipedia:

" in 1944 the German Wehrmacht had issued some captured M1886 Lebel rifles, given the German identification code Gewehr 301(f), to some of their occupation troops in France, but in limited numbers"
