Dear Bros and Broettes! :mrgreen:
Do any of you have the ultra awesome mega sweet skill of identifying Soviet uniforms from WWII? I have 3 photos that need to be identified. Or do you know anyone who can identify such things?

hahahahahaha sorry guys. I completely forgot to add this to the OP, these are WWII uniforms, but not taken during WWII.
These photos were taken in 2004. There's a museum in Kyiv, where for a pretty penny, you can take photos in real uniforms.

Then its not realistic then.

The lesson I was taught at a very young age IS that people can't be fooled.

It looks like Air Force Corporal and Army Captian, probably parade uniforms.

Actually it's a FB group for WWII tabletop miniatures gaming and they weren't much help.
