Finnish soldier sits atop a soviet BT-7 tank, knocked out during the continuation war. The original caption reads: "The russian left so fast, he forgot his hat."

@ Seth
 Great picture but whatis there any information behind it? I play in a bagpipe band and I always like to see oddities like 2 drone pipes and for the life of me I cannot make out a single unit badge so I could look into this image further.

 

a canadian unit  at dday, i don't have more information. But it restricts a lot the research...




Private Marcel St-Laurent of "D" Company, Le Régiment de Maisonneuve, clowns for the camera at Cuyk, Netherlands, on 23 January 1945. Details of the fuze on the bottom of the No. 36 Grenade can be seen. The length of the cloth bandolier has been altered by tying a knot in it to make it shorter.

In a hastily dug position, two Finnish soldiers armed with a Suomi kp/31 and a captured Soviet Degtyarev DP light machine gun. Both men are well protected against the cold and well camouflaged, including white cloths wrapped around their field caps.

A finnish crew clean the barrel of their captured soviet 45mm AT gun, the so called "Piiskatykki" (whip cannon), during continuation war. This gun, based on a scaling-up of the 37mm german PAK 36, was a welcome addition to Finns inadequate AT armoury. Hundreds of these AT guns were captured during both wars and it is the most used AT gun in finnish army.
