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.

Finnish soldiers?

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

I think they are certainly German soldiers.
