They wouldn't be able to venture as far as France in that case it'd be the base or Kaiserslautern to drink. Usually the stop over is just one day and going to leave would not be permitted to easy to go AWOL but they'd get liberty to go to town in Germany that could be literal if you catch my drift.
I doubt they could be Marines on sea duty on liberty either though I suppose that is not impossible.
Off duty embassy guards seems most likely. Assuming the information that they are Marines is correct.

They may been servicemen on holiday from the U.K or Germany perhaps or embassy guards as you said. Either way, kuduos to the two men who subdued the heavily armed attacker. One of the Marines was injured in the attack. Hopefully he and the others injured will be alright.
Such a senseless action
