Indian infantry in Axis service
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:40 pm
Does anyone have any more detailed uniform and equipment information about the Indian troops that served under the Axis (Nazi) banner. This picture provides an answer to one of my original questions but any additional information members of this forum might possess would be helpful.
These links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_Freies_Indien
and: http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=2157 lead to information on the units I am aware of but I have seen other information that hints there were a few other units formed but do not have any details and cannot find my previous printed reference source again (I think it was a borrowed book).
I am primarily interested in recreating the unit/units of the African/Italian theaters but other areas where they served would help provide background information.
Thanks very much... Will
