Well, here's a couple more Hungarian army pics I found.
Well, never heard about it. But in early after war LWP used many different helmets beacuse of not enough quantity of russian helmets and then polish wz.50. A lot of czech vz.32 helmet and WW2 italian (don't know the pattern) was in service.I think Adrians were also reused by a branch of the post-war army or the police. Painted black with a large uncrowned white eagle on it.
Got few new pics:
Two major camos and a winter one ... LWP - 50's:
This one is an example, as my friend told me, of an typical style in "6 Brygada Desantowo Szturmowa" (6th Airborne Assault Brigade - hope it's a good translation): a custom camo made of camouflage painted chute taken from D5 polish parachute. In his opinion this behaviour was a standard and many soldiers have been doing such a custom camo's from chutes.
And the final one for today - a group of fully equipped polish soldiers carrying mortar gear. They all wears old pattern of uniforms - i think that those are wz.48's. They also have wz.33/50 bacpack's:
Good stuff thanks bolas!

Right after war or probably end of 40's
Private of infantry - 50's
By the way - could anyone post some more east german army pics ? Specialy those from early 50's ? I am very very curious about their gear. Were they using some ex-WH stuff like mauser rifles or german helmets ? Or were they rearmed in russian gear imeaditly as east german army was formed. What NVA means ? Nationale Volks Armee ?
There was a thread specifically on east german army

I'm not 100% sure if these pictures are hungarian.
T-55
Rocket unit. (?)
Still not in warsaw-pact but after the war.
Did you know?
(I apologise if this has already been stated!)
That the Stahlhelm Model 56, the distinctive NVA (East German Army) helmet was actually a 1944 prototype rejected by Hitler, who did not want to give up the more traditional design even though the proposed design offered more protection.
Stahlhelm Model 56 ? Never heard about it ... got any pics ?
Another one - mrs. lieutenant of LWP (i think only dressed to photo) - middle of 50's
It's the regular NVA helmet. See below:Originally Posted by bolas
Tactical rocket system "Luna" (moon), in this case the launch vehicle 2P16 with rocket 3R8. Very nice picture!
Known to NATO as the Frog-3
Ufff i was thinking that maybe you call this helmet (on pic below - two guys near banner) Stahhelm 56 - it looks like WW2 stahlhelm M35 or M42:It's the regular NVA helmet. See below:
