This is a rare photo because in this photo the Polish army dressed up in U.S clothing for a training mission, the mission was similar to the SOG or LRRP missions during the Viet Nam war. The reason for this training was to prepare for the soldiers for the Cold war and use them as spies just like the Germans did in World War II. |
