Boy, that ppsh41 looks so utterly terrifying, the drum barrel magazine, and the
rate of fire on that thing is enough to give me nightmares! :P

Looks like a Polish soldier from the period of the Warsaw Uprising - but photo is very interesting.

Thanks,

I just assumed that since the text on the back appeared illegible it was written in Sütterlin and thus German.

Same as in #1355 Suomi KP/-31 SMGs. Possibly some Danish-built M.41 with angular pistol grip among them but IMO the stock wood and/or pistol grip make at least the guns in two bottom photos of #1355 and two top shots in #1356 Finnish-manufactured.

With spade grips, the tall rear sight and that muzzle brake, that would be a Vickers (and on Crete) unless I'm mistaken.
