Winter War and Australia

Here you can see the leather m/36 commander’s tunic on the left along with the padded tankers helmet worn for protection while in the fighting vehicle. The radio earphones are incorporated into the helmet. You can see the plug in cord for this headgear in the commander’s hand. The right side figure is shown with the grey canvas jumpsuit that was used as an alternative to the leather uniform. This figure is more than likely a radio operator/gunner than a commander due to the lack of rank insignia on his uniform and the standard enlisted mans cockade worn on his m/36 cap.
