Why hasn't anyone voted for Italy? Come on guys, those feathery things on the helmets are so chic ... ;)

Yeah i was about to mention that. Its a kevlar version of the Fritz pretty much.

Political BS aside, the Germans were ahead of their times in respects to certain peices of equipment. The helmet is one of them apparently.
Another is the MG42. To this day many machine guns core design can be traced to the MG42. The M60 is inspired by its design if i remember correctly, as well as a bunch of other machine guns that other countires use. Not to mention the MP44 as being the worlds first assault rifle.

Subs, well, everyone knows that one.

German A Frame Web gear looks vaguly similar to what the Alice LBE while i was in the service.

Its also probably not a stretch to say they came up with the worlds first cruise missles. Anyway, watch the history channel long enough, you'll see all sorts of useless knowledge :88)

LOL if your serious where u hiding?...........

may be it's the photo, but they look somewhat nasty on those pics.

I think the part that always made them 'evil' looking are the black gloves.

Actually, some russian uniforms looked kind of intersting, especially the late war type. And I always liked the winter ones: http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/u...1.htm#Baltic41


but the big pants always threw me off - why do they have to be wide on top?

one size fits many - you can always cinch it up with your belt.

When you have to make millions of pairs of pants, it makes more sense to have two sizes: big and small.

That's certainly true. 1730-1810 was the golden age of uniform fashion. The British looked good during the American Revolution as well.

So there you have it. The side with the best uniforms are actually going to lose. Took Napoleon some time before he met his Moscow and Waterloo, but aye, he did.

This is a cool uniform:

I beg to differ. While I will not argue about any "cool"ness or not, it isn't quite classy. :rotfl:

LOL my Uncle Hitler had the uniforms to stand the times of war.............Napeoleon was good but was too long ago...........If I said I was releated to a top nazi what would happend?............... Considering it was 60+yrs

"Classy" like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally i think nazi uniforms are overly gaudy.

so what if i said that i was related to the first primitive bacterium what would people say? :-j

I've always liked the CCCPs uniforms, although the Germans probably came a very close second.

u just like 'em cause they got ppsh's. ppsh's are cool never the less.

Sure, if you want to *win* a war. :rotfl:

Now fascism, that's got style. Uniforms, buildings, parades, spectacle, dramatic collapse within fifteen years... :arrgh!:
