Great photo Henrik, frightening to see how young these boys were when the ss got hold of them, Here's a photo i have of another young boy pulled in to the ss.

makes you wonder how they got ss uniforms to fit them, but by then they where using whatever they could get their hnds on
 
pat if you look at the shoulders on the second pic they are about the right size for the kid, if it was a larger coat you would see the shoulder lines far further down his arms
 
They look to be around 17 years old .
When I enlisted in the US Marines in 1980 , I was 17 1/2 years old .
 
i know its impossible to say from a pic but the kid in the second pic looks younger than 17
