In a funny way, those photos almost look like modern re-enactors.

Which is merely to say that once you remove the set-piece propaganda photos using handpicked nordic types, everyone looks rather distressingly normal.  ;)

Especially during winter, it's almost unimaginable that everybody would be running around clean-shaven and with a nifty hairdo. For a lot of us nordic types, dry cold (frosty) weather and a razor just won't do.  lol

Yes, very true
the clean-shaven + haircut was usually required with home visit or R&R in general, not on campaign. And of the latter there must have been very little in the last 2 years of the war

Or a Uruguayan rugby player circa 1972, el milagro de los Andes....




My own theory is that plane was chock full of food. They just ate each other for the sheer fun of it. A national trait apparently.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

If I had a coin for every person in the past month who's pointed out that Alive featured a Uruguayan football team, I'd have enough to base a 10,000-point 40k gobbo army with.

 lol

Just a pair of pictures of my last reenactment battle (middle XIII century) in Urgnano (BG) North Italy, Lombardia region, I was the crossbowman with painted helmet and leather body armor  :D

Yes, it's better to shot with bow or crossbow, that be a simple infantrymen (that receive those shots)  :D

We too did a battle during night, and received the shots from archers with fire arrows, and there was a trebuchet too.  :D
