This photo from the collection of L/Cpl. John 'Ken' Emmerson SS Bde HQ (formerly No.2 and 12 Cdo)courtesy of his son John.. Posted by Pete R
Update 15/1/12: Jack Bakker adds " The men with the caps look very much like Russians, or perhaps Yugoslavs. The cap they are wearing is nearly the same as was worn by the Serbs in Bosnia when I was there. Look at the shoulders of the two men on the right. The rank badges look very much the same as were used (and still are!) by the Russians."
As L/Cpl Emmerson did not serve in the Yugoslav theatre of war, we can conclude the men described by Jack are indeed part of the Russian army

Given that a wheeled Maxim Machine Gun appears in one of a Corporal Emerson’s’ photos could these men be captured Croats serving under German Command? They are certainly unarmed unlike the British present.
