What uniform is this? Hungarian?

The Italian mountain troops still wear that feathered hats. So my guess is Italian.

[klatschnik]

Legal in Australia.

I thought Mein Kamfpt is banned only in Germany?

It is legal in germany. but only originals. reprint is not allowed, because bavaria is the owner of the rights.

Definately not Italian, Alpine units still wear the eagle feather

The closest hat we have near to the one we are seeing is the bersaglieri

Mein Kampf is illegal in most countries isn't it?

It is illegal, but available with some effort in Poland. Judging by numerous spelling and grammar errors, it is printed somewhere else. I tried to read it but failed to finish. Poorly written crap. I came to a conclusion that there had to be very specific circumstances for such huge number of people to fall for such ridiculous ideas. IMHO - it shouldn't be available in bookstores. There are too many loonies who would be happy to take it seriously. (sorry, if OT).

Yeah, you are right, Hitler was not so bad.

And all the Germans of this time including SS-men were just poor little
good people fooled by Hitler, so they were not liable at all.

Never mind they invaded a dozen of countries and killed many millions
of Russians, Jews, and Poles. They were not Germans so it was OK
to kill them.

Easy to say.
Hitler wanted a pure race white blue eyes and blond hear.
He had nothing against not Germans.

Germany had a verry bad time.
Ofcourse he is a ....... but the situation at that moment gave him the chance to do terrible things.
How much had Stalin or Mao on his name? There where more types like him.
But they had not the capability or other intentions.
Till now freaks like North korean Kim are on power..
Every person in earth is capable to do terrible things.
It depends on the situation....most of us have an easy time.
The 30s where difficult.
I understand he was the man of the century.
He had a huge sick impact.
Even on my family..

What uniform is this? Hungarian?

It might be a couple of privates in the Hungarian Gendarmerie, they have the cockerel feather, green lanyards and red collar rank tabs, plus it makes sense they might be around guarding VIPs. Dont quote me on that i only have one picture to compare the to!

[nemowork]

Here you go, looks like a WW1 rather than WW2 version of the uniform from the puttees and an officer from all the bling but the black felt hat, green whistle lanyard and the distinctive gold badge and cockerel feathers are all there!

What's the award under his ribbon for the Iron cross 2nd class? What is the other gold badge next to his gold wound badge? What's his rank? Leutnant, oberleutnant?

The color really makes these pictures stand out.

I'm surprised how good of quality these photos are! If I didn't know better, I'd say this was taken in the 60's or 70's. Are these somehow enhanced or something?

Its the East front medal, Ostmedallie, ribbon. Hard to tell but I think the badge is the Sportabzeichen, sportsbadge, bronze or gold. Rank is either Oberleutnant or Hauptmann. Great photo.
