My uncle, USMC 1945. Veteran of Iwo Jima. It's interesting that he's holding an earlier drum magazine of the Thompson submachine gun
Typical late war pants with M42 camo helmet cover

A lot of American uniform influence there w/the exception of the post WW2 German splinter pattern uniform and the M42 German stahlhelm that the Norwegian soldier is wearing. The uniform is quite 1940's-50's American in style though
