Those two look a bit too buff to be from the 1950's. LOL

Well, those two chaps have certainly been hitting the gym along with enemy positions!

Who said gym, maybe they just threw the rounds themselves.

Can anyone positively rule-out using these guys in the ETO during WW2 -I'd like to place them on my M-12 in absence of anyone else vaguely useful.

Well, for one I don't think their clothing - or the lack of it - is suitable for the weather conditions during the ETO operations in 1944 - 45...

EDIT: Maybe in Normandy and Northern France in the summer of 44... but not later.

They are wearing herringbone twill as can be determined by those pockets. But their state of dress like said already rules them out for NE Europe except July, August 1944.

They would be good for the Pacific or in Italy in World War II. At least they should have t-shirts for NE Europe.
