I think Teddy's correct judging by the cars (all 1947-1958), uniforms, equipment - pre-M14s (which came into use circa 1959) and all. I'd guess somewhere around 1958-1960.

The Big Picture was produced and aired 1951-1964. I used to watch it weekly, along with Victory at Sea and The 20th Century - some of my favorite programs growing up.

The LT giving the first aid class @ 8:13 is Marion Mills. After a couple of tours in SEA, he went to seminary and came back in as a Chaplain. He was the 7th Group Chaplain as a MAJ and married my wife and I in the JFK Chapel.

For those of us who spent time at Tolz the film is a definite langlauf-tour down memory lane.
