Mounted mountain sailors

I'm not positive if this is a joke or for real, and I have not looked it up in Cron. I am not a Navy guy, nor a Navy fan. This picture is marked on the back mounted mountain sailors. Was there such a unit? It is marked with a hefty 10 Mark price tag, which would have been pretty pricey regardless of when it was offered for sale. I can't read the rest of the inscription. So there you go Navy detectives...... who are those guys?

Reitende Gebirgsmarine, yeah right, that's as likely as a screen door on a submarine, Joe, I would bet dollars to doughnuts, this is a joke.

Uh no joke......this is probably exercise on a day outing. Prior to the war, ships would dock in foreign ports and the crew would take day trips such as this. Any ship photo album is stuffed with photos like this.
