  2. Probably best to credit the sources of these pictures before their publishers find out.

    1. The Jackets are called the M41 they are specifically Olive Drab 3, this tends to be closer to tan but look them up if you want specifics. The dark greens tend to be seen late '44 at the earliest with the M43 uniform.

  4. If I were you, I'd research something a little more unit specific. I've seen both color schemes. But I'm no expert by any means.

  5. Hello, you don't seem to have anything on Kenya & East Africa during WWII - King's African Rifles & Kenya Regiment. Couldn't you add them? They were an important part of the British troops in WWII.

  8. I have found one mistake, in description of Polish soldier equpment, "Poland - Infantry private, 1939" number 18 owijacze, names correct but description is an blooper.
    Owijacz (plural owijacze) was exacly same as puttee- belt of cloth used to wrap around ankles and lower legs.
    Cloth used instead of socks is called onuca in polish (plural onuce) and footwrap in english.

  13. Fantastic! You got it! Gotta an illustration of a soldier of the Brazilian, with American standard uniform, in winter, the Gothic Line Campaign in Italy in Oct '44 to Feb '45 ...
      You were great! Now, I have a challenge (which sounds more like a request please, lol) for you: get an illustration of the uniform of the legendary Chindits, Gen. Orde Wingate in Burma Campaign '42, the period in which they acted in conjunction with the 5 Chinese army Gen. Sun Li Jen, under the command of Gen. Stilwell. Japanese, Burmese and Indians are also welcome, but the 'Jungle Commandos' of Gen. Wingate, are rarer! See if you can, and right now, my congratulations for the invaluable contribution! Thank you, my friend!

  14. Ah! Before leaving, not to say that the graphics Romanians, Poles and Yugoslavs are at least spectacular, would not do any justice to his efforts to preserve the memory of this was that one way or another the most decisive event for the behavior and actions of contemporary man, in every aspect of modern life, it would be almost an insult! Congratulations extreme commitment to the memory of human history, the second Thirty Years' War, (1914/1945) by itself represents.

  15. why did you desecrate an illustration of a US soldier in ms paint

  16. Are not the same uniform! Not the British standard of jungle!
    The Yankees fought with the Chinese, (straining under Gen. Stilwell) while the Brits who fought with birmanese and Hindustani (in the case of Gen. Wingate's Chindits) used the pattern of the British jungle ... These same Ethiopians you showed (in 1936 against the Italians) were commanded by Gen. Wingate, but as commandos, (1942) in Burma! The commander of them was Gen. Slim, if I'm not mistaken ... Amid the Hindustani (when they came to the great India - Pakistan, Nepal, Bengali, Sinhalese, besides the Indians themselves -), Australians, New Zealanders and Malaysians. Are these 'commandos', favorite my troops! Maybe something inspired by the legionaries or the bersaglieri, whatever.

    Illustration of "1944 June, England, Lieutenant, US Army" has one error. The bag worn around the neck, containing a gas mask, was made of black rubber, in order to be waterproof. In your picture it appears to be khaki canvas - this is incorrect.
