"... would guess most of those men had family members/friends that were caught up in Stalin's purge."
Some, no doubt ... but, remember there was a complete SS Division that was Muslim ... inspected by Himmler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
"... They look better equipped than standard German troops"
Probably a mix of SS kit ... which was generally 'better'.

I must say, this photo (and many more like it) breaks my heart. It's one of the reasons I had to give up some lucrative projects years ago, you cannot see these pictures and not get massively emotional, especially day after day. Even now, this one almost brings me to tears, but it's the kind of thing that must NEVER be forgotten and must NEVER happen again. Sorry, didn't mean to preach, but spend ten minutes with a Holocaust survivor and your perspective on life is changed forever, spend a year with several and you'll need medication and therapy.
