Looks pretty ugly to me. Best uniform for me is anything with woad. (especially Keira Knightly) Worst would have to be those idiots who stand outside Buckingham Palace. ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |

German Uniforms are the best looking, so are the US (todays US Uniforms.) If you notice the US helmet looks like the Germans in ww1 or ww2. US

Well, modern helmets all look like the german ones. Anyways, I just like the german uniforms especially the officer ones. I've noticed that as well. Here I have attached some pictures of modern Mainland Chinese military uniforms.

It seems like half the world is copying the German helmet of world war II Look at the Spanish helmets they have used various helmets in the civil war but there is one that bears extremely close resemblance to that of WWII German helmet |

Yes it dos and plus I have a uncle in the military and they call it the German style helmet. Los of countries copy the german helmet, is b/c it was the best design, and in the history Channel they did a research of helmets in WW 1 WW2 they say that the German helmet was a lot stronger built because of the design and it covered more of your head. look at this
Do not know about you guys , but I do not want to fight this guys. |

They are called Ushankas and they are not necessarily made of Bear( the ones used by the common soldiers are sure as hell not) I have one, great for cold winters. Don't use it much because here it is summer all year long. |

[quote]oh but I love those commie bear hats![quote] I had one too! Ha ha. Light blue Soviet military issue, bought from Kurds in Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. Nothing like the good old hammer and sickle to shock the petit-bourgeois. I actually wanted to buy a Soviet vehicle crew headgear, but it was too uncomfortable with the primitive intercom wiring... ------------- |

yes, WITH the cover it gives the impression of a german helmet. Here it is without it. Notice shape is different and is has no long rear like the wehrmacht's, which was influenced by roman helmets pehaps. Not sure.

"yes, WITH the cover it gives the impression of a german helmet. Here it is without it. Notice shape is different and is has no long rear like the wehrmacht's, which was influenced by roman helmets pehaps. Not sure." I agree with the roman helmet. |

The uniform that looks most like the wehrmacht uniform can only be of course...:
the uniform of the Chilean army! No wonder, the Chilean was strongly influenced by the Prussian army in the 19th century and it is sometimes called the last Prussian army in the world. |

The German helmet in question (late WWI/WWII) is actually specifically based on the German Medieval helmet known as the sallet: http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=German+sallet/v=2/SID=e/TID=I001_70/l=IVI/SIG=12hnusp50/EXP=1109616106/*-http%3A//www.art-of-europe.com/images/german-tipping-sallet.jpg - http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=German+sallet/v=2/SID=e/TI D=I001_70/l=IVI/SIG=12hnusp50/EXP=1109616106/*-http%3A//www. art-of-europe.com/images/german-tipping-sallet.jpg ------------- "Who despises me and my praiseworthy craft, I'll hit on the head that it resounds in his heart." --Augustin Staidt, of the Federfechter (German fencing guild) |

Turkish janisarry robbed from their Christiand families, usually forced to accept Islam and then having to dress like this-  (dress uniform)
I am sure it was really an honor for the Janissary who embraced Islam and became a holy warriors for Allah. (no disrespect meant) I feel sorrow for the families who had their sons taken away- usually never see them again!! The costume looks silly by our standards but the Janisarries were amongst the bravest warriors in history!!
