Req: REAL combat pictures

[dWell]

...meaning pictures that have enemy soldiers in them. I remember at least one Finnish picture where a squad of russians are attacking over some kind ditch and a pic of it is taken from c. 30 metres (I can't seem to find even this picture so that I could scan it). I'm a bit tired of all these posed and set up pictures :(

And now for something completely different... :P

I have always liked the bv206. Not because of its killer looks, because it really looks kinda ridiciolous, but because of its incredible performance.

The NATECH P6-300M on the other hand is in my (limited) experience the opposite. Looks like a million bucks (costs a lot more though ;),
but isn't as durable.

Sorry no..

There is in dich just in front of the burning T-34, a German STUG.. and it made the kill.. one of the 4 or so that the hole German assault gun bridage made in that summer..

[Uninen]

And the gun isnt 7,5cm PAK 40.. its French M1897 on 50mm PAK chasis..


Another foreign gun favored by the German is the famous 75-mm Schneider field gun, Model 1897. Many of these have been captured from various European countries, especially from France. The Germans have modified the 75-mm Schneider by fitting it with a large muzzle brake and by putting the gun on their own 50-mm antitank gun carriage. They call the result the 7.5-cm Pak 97/38. Since the French 75 lacks muzzle velocity, it cannot be regarded as a satisfactory modern antitank gun.

That is the weapon in the pic..

Actually that is a BV206. The differences are minor at first glance, but for example NASUs don't have as big windows in the rear compartment, it's more 'angular' etc.

From Peter Turnley and the first Gulf War. These photos were rarely or never printed. He took these the day after the US bombed a convoy along what would become the "Mile of Death." Many photos depict the body detail.

If you have any interest in objectivity in war coverage or "real war photos", read his manifesto in the gallery link. It is rather good.

Graphic photos of carbonized bodies on mile of death can be seen by linking here, but frankly, that defeats Turnley's quest for objectivity. But, I respect the forum rules so here you go:

That M16 in the first pic has a MASSIVE scope!


The Scope isnt on the M-16... It belongs to a spotter who is lying ****e next to the guy with the M-16.

Hmm, you're right, my bad :oops:

Hmm, these guys in this picture could be ARVN, right ?

I'm just wondering, because many of them look Vietnamese (Asian) to me...

Yup, almost definitely ARVN.

[Hydro]

Could be ROK? I have to admit, I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to Asian looking people :)

Hmm, I don't think they're ROK since as far as I can remember they wore camouflaged BDU's, or at least the ROK SF wore them during Vietnam..

So, as agreed before, these guys have to be ARVN since they've got almost identical equipment to the US (Mitchell-pattern helmet covers, M1-helmets, M16A1's etc.).

hey if it makes you feel better, im korean and even i cant tell the difference.

basic guidelines that will usually help:
extremely pale, or eskimo-ish = japanese
spanish/south-american-native-ish = pacific islands
indian w/ asian looks = southern asian (vietnam, cambodia, etc)
typical asian stereotype = chinese
extremely good looking = korean

Someone already posted this, but here is the story behind it.

The Inchon Invasion, September 1950, First Lieutenant Baldomero Lopez, USMC, leads the 3rd Platoon, Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines over the seawall on the northern side of Red Beach, as the second assault wave lands, 15 September 1950. Wooden scaling ladders are in use to facilitate disembarkation from the LCVP that brought these men to the shore. Lt. Lopez was killed in action within a few minutes, while assaulting a North Korean bunker.

Medal of Honor Citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Rifle Platoon Commander of Company A, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces during the Inchon invasion in Korea on 15 September 1950. With his platoon, First Lieutenant Lopez was engaged in the reduction of immediate enemy beach defenses after landing with the assault waves. Exposing himself to hostile fire, he moved forward alongside a bunker and prepared to throw a hand grenade into the next pillbox whose fire was pinning down that sector of the beach. Taken under fire by an enemy automatic weapon and hit in the right shoulder and chest as he lifted his arm to throw, he fell backward and dropped the deadly missile. After a moment, he turned and dragged his body forward in an effort to retrieve the grenade and throw it. In critical condition from pain and loss of blood, and unable to grasp the hand grenade firmly enough to hurl it, he chose to sacrifice himself rather than endanger the lives of his men and, with a sweeping motion of his wounded right arm, cradled the grenade under him and absorbed the full impact of the explosion. His exceptional courage, fortitude and devotion to duty reflect the highest credit upon First Lieutenant Lopez and the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

At the end of the Gulf War, Kurdish refugees fled in a mass exodus from northern Iraq over the border into the mountains of southern Turkey. Here, a young Kurdish boy was seriously injured after being hit by a palette of food being airdropped by Allied Forces into this mountainous area trying to deliver food aid to the refugees. An estimated 450,000 Kurdish refugees fled to Turkey, and tens of thousands died of cold, hunger,and disease. These Kurds, initially supported by US Forces in an independence uprising against Saddam's forces, were later left defenseless as Saddam's forces retaliated and brutally killed many Kurds.
