WWII uniforms

[HunterKYA]

The stahlhelm design looked like it was pretty popular back then.

Intriguing pictures all around! I'll just say that the Finnish Army used Russian helmets very often as well. In the Winter War most soldiers probably went without steel helmets, and when Operation Barbarossa started many helmets were those that had been captured previously from the Red Army in the 1939-40 war.

Thats all for now, I will post more in the far future, PS: Sorry some of these pictures are'n exactly WW2-Based or centered, I can stop if anyone complains.

[agunter999]

No no no
Not at all a problem
But if you don't mind I will link to this post not put it on the front
This is because these pics aren't great for uniform references

[agunter999]

Thank you

[General Sultan V]

Thank you

My pleasure.

[agunter999]

I would rep but not allowed
Are you a jap or just interested in their history

[General Sultan V]

Just interested in their history, I'm an arab (from saudi arabia)

Many thanks for your Rep, you also deserve more rep with the nice selection of pics you posted in the 1st page

[agunter999]

Oh right
Thanks anyway

[Dromikaites]

I think the soldiers listed as Mongolians are actually Manchurians. The flag and the court of arms are Manchurian and the officer sports a samurai sword.

The Mongolians should have had Soviet-style uniforms. They were practically part of the Soviet Union at that time, independent only on paper. The Red Army was stationed in Mongolia since the '20s and Mongolia was historically the second communist state in the world which actually survived past the '20s.

[agunter999]

Humm you might be right
In the case of Mongolia they had may different uniforms due to its separate tribe like communities
Some fought on different sides

[agunter999]

It is Inner Mongolia which was part of Manchuria
