Identify the Army

[Hoffman Grink]

Stahlhelms? PPSH41s? US Webbing? Who could this Army belong to?

[Steffen]

I would bet on something like chinese army, they used a large number of german M35 helmets (recreating them) and got a lot of relief supplys from the americans and sowjets.

iraq or afghanistan?

[Hoffman Grink]

Turkey has already been said - but not Turkey - getting warmer.

[Hoffman Grink]

Aha! Das Medic! Iraq or Afghan???? not Iraq?

You have a 50% chance of getting the next question correct -
Do you think it's Iraq or Afghanistan?

I can only accept your first answer I'm afraid.

What they waering looks like m16 helmets....

Is it a pre-war pic?

[Heinz O. Kaufmann]

I guess Greece.

US supplied them after ww2, so that would explain the equipment. Soviets supplied also greek groups during the civil war, so that could explain the ppsh's and helmet (captured stocks?) or helmets are put in to new use from former conquers.

Before the answer was revealed I was going to suggest Syria....

Most of the helmets look rather too large for their wearers!

1950s/60s Afghanistan.

The chinese national party imported real pre-war m35 helmets from Germany.
