    Have a look at these guys!!!

    Supposedly (SS) volunteers in 1943 say the PK text on the back.
    " Landeseigene verbande kampfen an der ostfront mit den waffen SS truppen gegen Bolschewismus"
    WWI helmets, British web belts, WWI machineguns… Not looking very happy eider.

      Couldn't these guys be Chinese? As they wore German helmets too.

      Maybe this is a picture of war between Japan and China.

      Just a gamble but....

        Well, seems to me the PK text as quoted by Marc puts them squarely into the motley ranks of Eastern volunteers fighting on the German side. Quite possibly Kalmucks.

          Interesting how they were issued WW1 helmets.

            What kinds of rifles are these, they don't look like Mausers(?).
