Grat-zee.

I am super glad we have these photos, but having taken part in an Army ad shoot, all I can see is the obvious staging: no-one with their backs to the camera; no-one looking at the camera and no-one looking away; no-one picking their nose or scratching their nuts. But most obviously, nobody taking a quick nap or slacking off in the background. That’s the dead give-away.

LanternEverywhere,

Wait, Italy was one of the evil countries in WW2, how are they hanging out with US soldiers?

After Mussolini was deposed the new government in Italy declared war on Germany on Oct 13, 1943.

LanternEverywhere,

TIL! Thanks!

Is that John Tuturro on the far left?

someguy3,

You know I never thought about this, when did they switch from trench coats to waist high coats? Are the Italians in ww1 coats?

Varies by army, and by theatre. The US still issued new trench coats in some places and to some units as late as the 50s and 60s.
