Wow, no shit captain obvi-fuckin-ous. The whole point of finding photos of "cutting edge" hardware from the great war is to laugh and be amazed at how alien the technology seems to be to the soldiers using it. A mix of terror and delight, with mustard-gas fogging your judgement.

Associating yellow-on-blue (and crowns) with Finland is another thing.
Taking into account Finnish-Swedish history it could be even seen as insulting perhaps.
Now, did you really not get the point the first time?
Or were you just trying to redeem your faulty guess by quoting something you hadn't thought of before initially posting?
No i had seen it in a pic said Finnish troops on the move so i assumed it was their helmet maybe special division, there bad i guess for miss leading me wouldnt you say good sir, i had a feeling it wanst Finnish that is why i posted the question in the first palce. Hope that helps to clear the air for you so you can get back to the important stuff in your life.

Hell when I went to school we didn't study/learn shit about anywhere else except Australia, Greece/Rome and Medieval England. But I think the last two were for all the anglo and wogs.

Hehe.. you just confirmed what a limey friend of mine said. He is 28-ish, reasonably clever, but still knows fuck all about fuck all relating to history. Its the Tudors, the greeks, and Us/ozzie/uk emigration history. But then again, whats the point of being a former empire if you arent ethnocentric. Keep on ruling them waves britannia.

Civil Guards demanding order in the Land of Finns,
driving out the Rushkies
and down with the Red Guard!
Hey, Saksanniemi, Jäeger Unit
Troops of Lapua and Härmä,
Vöyri, Kauhava and the rest!

Jäegers carry with them success and luck,
hanging on our belts
is a German grenade!
Hey, Saksanniemi, Jäeger Unit

Little-Rushkies in St. Petersburg having nightmares:
Russia is a borderland
and Finland grand empire!
Hey, Saksanniemi, Jäeger Unit
Troops of Lapua and Härmä,
Vöyri, Kauhava and the rest!

Forward, men, away with fear and fast your pace,
Civil Guards of Finland
are the guard dogs of liberty!

DPM = Disruptive Pattern Material

First discovered in 1908 by French special 'lizard gang' specialist camo indexers and deployed on battlefield. When american troops used it in world war two they were shot by allies as the axis force used more.

Digitally Generated DPM is now installed for all

- tiger stripe material
- combat engineers
- icelandic militia
- software robots
- rap
