The troops in the foreground are actually Hungarian Arrow Cross personnel. The field gun is Hungarian, they're wearing Arrow Cross armbands and are armed with Hungarian 43M rifles.

WEAPONS DETAIL:
Weapon looks like a German 3.7cm PAK 36 anti-tank
gun, or a Hungarian Rebarreled of the Pak 36 to
take Skoda 40mm A17 ammo, but this is just my guess.
RIFLES OF HUNGARIAN TROOPS:
Hungarians could be armed with German-Hungarian
G.98/40 this was a version of the German K98 five round bolt action rifle in 7.92mm. Troops are Arrow Cross
UNIFORM OF THE DAY:
Troops have been issued the German-pattern steel helmet, greatcoat and cloth puttees wrapped around short boots.
