I would like to do a bit more digging.

The picture appears to be of a moderately well-to-do German family group, though the actual relation of the adults can not be determined with ceritude. They are standing in the cold of a winter day in daylight. The presence of fresh snow on the trees tells us it is not a strickly urban scene, but rather a suburban or park setting. The temperature is probably a few degrees below freezing, due to the lack of hoarfrost on their persons.

The condition of their clothing and footgear suggests this picture was taken well before the beginning of WWII. The civilians appear all to have fur collars, except for the woman between the men seems to be wearing "persian lamb" coat.

The civilian man appears to possibly be a Nazi party member due to the round collar pin which may be a party-member badge. He appears to be holding a second camera (not the one taking this picture).

The presence of the carraige implies an infant child. That a child in not seen suggests a small child swaddled and protected from the cold. The woman with her hands on the carraige implies that she belongs with the pram, impling she is a mother. It is likely that the soldier and she are married and young parents. This is further implied by their being the center of the photo, that the reason for the photo being some commemoration of the group being gathered.

Do you want more analysis?
