Thompson M1A1 SMG, model 1934 Stahlhelm, and some sort of tank type thing.

Actually... that looks more like a Thompson M1928A1 'Navy' model, as the cocking handle is on the top, and it appears to have a muzzle compensator.

My best guess on the tank is a Churchill II in Soviet service.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it isn't Russian.

EDIT: NM my edit... it could very well be a MkI or MkII churchill..

That mantle is completely wrong for a churchill, it is flush and has the gun coming right from it without any inset.

Although all the pictures indicate the BT-5 had rivets in the mantle, I think this is in fact a later BT-5 made with a straight casting. Or possibly a Bt-7?

Both are wierd, as AFAIK the thompson was only available to crews with US lend lease tanks. It was sort of "standard equipment" and came with the tanks.

Thompson (MP 760/2 (r), and a Churchill(not shure which model), it is:)

Interesting pic though.

Finnish soldiers?

[edit] but then again the shoulder straps on soldier nr 1 clearly looks German.

I think they are certainly German soldiers.
