Nazi era?
The title attached to the download file implied that this was Nazi era, but a Polish website said it was from a 1962 anthropology text. Hard to imagine anyone in Poland with a mustach like that in 1962.
The photo may have been published in a book from 1962 but the toothbrush mustache points to the 1920s and 1930s.
Males from Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Poland emulated this style to identify with the political party then currently in power.
Males everywhere abandoned this style of trimming after Hitler was defeated. Somehow no one could remember anyone who ever wore this style after it was out of fashion as they no longer wanted to be identified with the Nazi Party.
The same could be said of fickle passing trends today if one watches politics with a critical eye.
alas, we don't get to see his Polska kielbasa-Dee Exx

Yes, probably an older picture than the book.
