Can you guess the ground crews' uniform ?

Came across this picture on the net about WWII aircraft. The caption does not give much information. I would guess the aircraft under maintenance is a Messerschmitt Bf 109E. However, the uniforms of the maintenance crew is not of the Luftwaffe. Other than Germany, the Bf 109 served in other Axis nations, such as Finnland and Romania. Any other suggestions from the Forum ? Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't know, but that is the best pic I've seen showing how small those aircraft really were!

Hope somebody knows your answer.

I agree . . .   a google search of "shark mouth bf 109" turned up this little gem on the first page . . . 

Looks like the same plane to me.

Yikes !  That does look tiny in your picture !
