This is going to be a little off the wall, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Does anyone have color plates of Argentine Army uniforms, and maybe even vehicles/aircraft circa 1943? I'm reading a W.E.B. Griffin series set mostly in Argentina. While he describes things well, I'd still like to see what they looked like.
Gracias!

Re: Argentine Army
The Argentinean, Chilean Armed Forces were kitted in German Army style. After 1945, only Chilean Armed Forces retain it's German/Prussian-influenced military culture.
Even Ireland's Armed Forces had the German-style Stahlhelm until 1941
