    I'm trying to identify elements of what appear to be unusual uniforms in the attached photo. The men in the photo were Poles who joined the ranks of the Soviet partisans then merged into the Red Army. The man on the left was discharged from service in November '45 as a Senior Lieutenant and the one on the right was invalided out in December of '45. The photo was likely taken in '46. For what event I don't know. Their tunics seem to be American-style 4 pocket, open collar (peaked lapel not notch) uniform jacket. Quite unlike what I know to be Soviet in style. They don't appear to show any discernable rank (epaulettes are not soviet style shoulder boards) and by playing with contrast I can make out rectangular collar tabs with some sort of device on them. Caps are pilotkas and I'm pretty sure I can make out a star on the Front. Can anyone offer any insight?

    Does anybody recognize the apparent collar insignia? It seems to be a rectangular patch wit a centrally placed device/insignia.
