    (If you need better pictures I can proberbly help
    Some really nice pictures, mate.

    Mailer tanks is a really good site for finding obscure vehicles from wwI, wwII and the interbellum. There are some other sites that you might find interesting.

    www.achtungpanzer.com is a really good site about German armour.
    www.preservedtanks.com has pictures of preserved tanks (WWII and other periods) in museums, private collections, memorials, etc.
    http://beute.narod.ru/ has information and pictures on Allied armour that was captured and used by the Germans.
    http://www.wwiivehicles.com/ The name says it all.

    Also you might want to correct the spelling of the names of some countries. For example my country is called The Netherlands.

    EDIT: www.waroverholland.com has a lot of information about the German invasion of The Netherlands. They also have a lot of information about the equipment of the Dutch army:

    Hitler's Great Panzer Heist is a good read about that.

    Why? I can understand China, but Brasil wasn't exactly an important participant during ww II.

    Deployed more than 25,000 men, played an important role in the Italian campaign, and:

    During the eight months of the Italian campaign, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force managed to take 20,573 Axis prisoners, consisting of two generals, 892 officers and 19,679 other ranks. During the War, Brazil lost 948 of its own men killed in action across all three services during the Italian campaign.

    I'm not trying to downplay Brasil, but Dom Pedro II stated explicitly that it would be better to post non-european uniforms. I can understand why somebody would like to see less well known uniforms but not why it would be better. Some European countries in your list are also not very well known or played an unimportant role. (like my own country)

    The netherlands played a major role not only because they shot down a third of the planes that atacked them, put so much resistance up that the germans called it a disaster and then going onto the most successful resistance and arguably stopping the invasion of britain; it was actuly at war

    By WW2, Australia was different enough from the British even if we were still part of the Empire.

    We have some nice looking Uniforms anyways.

    Loved the Andorra uniform, apparently they all dressed like Hitler.

    Also, why are the US and the USSR missing?

    I don't think I've ever seen photos of the Albanian army in WWII before.

    To be fair, the performance of Dutch forces at Rotterdam was admirable, holding a city not considered to even be part of Dutch defences with a handful of scrap and 12 105mm guns. The police, and even store owners got involved in the defences at first!

    Don't be fooled by the garrison size of 7000 Dutch, Rotterdam was a training and administration centre and only 800-1100 of its 7000 strong garrison were combat soldiers.
