I also wondered about those two men but given the obvious Allied presence on this street, I was forced to conclude these were not German soldiers- perhaps French troops or (more likely) local police. This photo came with no other information about it except what can be seen in the image itself and my guess about it being in the South of France may be incorrect- this may be Holland or even Germany. The Allied presence here is probably British but I also thought the soldier walking up the middle of the street with his riding boots and heavy shoulder boards had a distinctly Russian look about him.

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Any explanation of two Germans, at right, talking to civilian?
