Question about POWs

[R MICHAEL]

Hello all I have a question about a photo I am selling. I have been told this is a shot of Yugoslavian POWs. I thought they were French or Belgium from the style of helmets seen.
Am I wrong or the other fellow?


Thanks, Mike

Disarmed Royal Yugoslav Army prisoners April 1941. They had their own distinctive overseas cap and wore the WW I French helmut. Much of the Army's equipment was purchased from France during the 1930's.

Hi Mike

I have an album with several Yugoslavian POW photos. Some POWs in the photos are wearing the French-style helmet.

Here's one.

Cheers
