    I don't know this one. I think death battalion name is just propagandist text in photo. M/37 or m/40 skull helmet. Also m/17 camo helmet

    Answer to "toot"
    Finns made war material emergency bought's during winter war from Italy. We bought italian Carcano rifles, FIAT fighter planes and 30000 pieces of m/33 italian helmets.

    Sadly, after war Finnish army sold all Italian helmets as scrap metal, and melted them. Thus "Finnish"-Italian helmets are rare.

    And here's a sharper version

    Hello Nordlicht,

    The last photograph of your first post. I mean the chap on the far left. I believe he carries a Swiss MKMO SMG. Rather scarce SMG's.

    Great thread. I love it. Keep it coming!

    Cheers,
    Emile
