need pictures

[dasboot]

I would like to make a request for some pictures of a typical soldier wearing combat gear like a 98k bayo and a bread bag, exc.

I am interested in building a mannequin of a soldier wearing all the field equipment possible and would like to know what I need to accomplish this task.

The pictures could be actual photos or drawings preferred.

Thank-you

To start.

Hello "Boot",
here are some pics from the 2nd Panzer in Normandy. This should give you an idea of what was carried in a combat zone.Lots of interesting details in the pics.
Don't forget either to have a look around the "Collections" forum, there are some simply stunning things to see in there to say the least...a good place to start is here;

I don't think the average soldier would carry that much gear on the field, but still a good picture.
