Japanese in the Wehrmacht

Hi!
I've seen sometimes some photos of Japanese in German Heer officier's uniform, with the rising sun shield on right upper arm.
Post this link with the most famous (Afaik) photos: http://fav.me/d918wlo

Someone did know anything about these guys? :milwink:
There is some connection with the Ost-Battalion 43? This unit did ever exist?

If this argument was in another thread please redirect me there.
Very thanks! :milsmile:
