Scandinavia army equipment.
« on: April 27, 2012, 11:52:36 AM »
Hi does anyone know what equipment and uniforms the Scandinavia nations had between the wars?

Am looking into to having some Scandinavia involvement in a VBCW force in looking into creating.

On the Danish Army you can start here:

I should think, you will find most of what you look for in the many fine articles by Per Finsted, which you can find on the site.
I guess the easiest way around is just to search on the word Finsted.
Any more questions, try contacting Per Finsted, he is always very helpful.

On Swedish there are some pictures here. Google translate can be helpful :)

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but Swedish troops that can be used for VBCW is on their way right now. I asked Aaron Brown of Black Crab Sculpting to make a few figures and those he did turned out wonderful!
So if you need a few foreign volounters from Sweden you can soon get some.

Dalaupproret has now published the first pictures of the Swedes! And he wrote a few words about them on his blog. And if that is not enough, he will write more about them in the future! (at least he promised me that)

We will use them for "A Very British Civil War" but in a Swedish setting.

They would work for war in finland 1917-18 and maybe even in the baltic during the same time as there was quite many Swedish volonteers that fought agaiont the reds.

even work for some whatif erarly war ww2 gaming in Finland, Norway, Demnark or even Sweden against invaiding Germans…but maybe even Britts and French as there was plans by them to invade Sweden to secure the northern sweden and the to germany vitale ore production.

I just updated my blog with pictures of Swedes in the tricorne hat… Dalauppror

and here are some in helmets

These are really cool! Any chance of some Swedish personalities from this era? Thord-Gray, Sven Hedin and von Rosen would be nice!
