Sad,yes. Tuff times makes for tuff choices. Not his fault,but 13 or 30, they can kill just as dead.

Kids like this were knocking out T 34's with Panzerfausts in Berlin in May 1945 !! What a childhood talk about old before your time !!

Very sad picture and even sadder that there are still regimes around the world using children as combatants even today.

I recall seeing this photo before. Yes, sadly child soldiers are still with us all around the world.

I noticed that he is wearing a re-issued former Slovakian army cap. Note the very low front to the turn up.

Cheers, Ade.

Now, you 'are observant' Ade. Pretty good. We look at the face and you pick up on the uniform.
