Are you sure it is only unit with Edelweiss? And what Gebirgsjägers did in Estonia? Where they moved to?

As far as i know.

Maybe 3 Gebirgs-Division, they were transferred to the Easten Front.

I've been told not only Gebirgsjägers used Edelweiss. And that another unit could be in Estonia.

There is an opinion this guy could be one of The Brandenburgers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburgers

I don't know, this hat is so typical gebirgsjäger Bergmütze.

I think the best shot here is to try to ID the Kaitseliit guy.
However the situation - this seems casual, nothing official, i think they are just
waiting for the train, there's seems to be lot of civilians around...

Is wearing Katseliit's uniform normal for 1942?

Yes.

Venepoeg, read this through the google translate.

"Keilat läbiva 217. jalaväediviisi väheste autode juhikabiinidele olid maalitud diviisi embleemina alpilill – Edelweiss. Ilmne vihje diviisi formeerimiskohale kuskil Alpide kandis."

Thank you!
