    My uncle, USMC 1945. Veteran of Iwo Jima. It's interesting that he's holding an earlier drum magazine of the Thompson submachine gun

    Typical late war pants with M42 camo helmet cover

    Notice a pattern ?


    The Netherlands (Gevechtsuniform M/58 and M1 helmet). The rifle would have been an FN-FAL:



    Belgium:


    West Germany - the uniform as it would have appeared in 1957 (G3 rifle):



    Denmark - M/51 uniform and M/48 helmet (M1)



    Norway: M/51 feltuniform.



    U.S Army in Germany - 1950s (one of the soldiers is the young Elvis Presley).




    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    A lot of American uniform influence there w/the exception of the post WW2 German splinter pattern uniform and the M42 German stahlhelm that the Norwegian soldier is wearing. The uniform is quite 1940's-50's American in style though

    This might as well be the official NATO uniform
