    Whose funeral is this?

    Hello
    Where is it? DDR? Czechoslovakia? Yugoslavia? I think only these countries officialy used StG44s after the war...

      Its Czechoslavakia

      It took place in Czechoslovakia. The Czech flag on the coffin was giveaway. The Czechs made the extensive use of leftover WW2-era German military equipment such like those German MP-44 assualt rifles in that picture in late 1940s. They used them until they replaced with Soviet military equipment in 1950s.

        Thanks. But do you know who's in the coffin?

          The M32 helmet also confirms this date. Possibly Edvard Beneš or Klement Gottwald?

              Hello, this funeral is in 100% from Czechosolvakia. Probably Jan Masaryk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Masaryk

              Cheers George
