I found this link on the Time Lines Forum. Be advised, the F word shows up a couple times in the commentary for the photos.

It's quite strange to see Japanese faces in SS, British, Italian and Falshirmjager uniforms. Given there were Japanese Americans in uniform, that shot is not so strange. Much of the equipment and uniforms are very good, but there are exceptions!

I can honestly say that that's the first time I've ever seen a swastika on a car above a license plate....

I immediately thought of this:


Yep,
That is a real picture of Japanese envoys checking out a Tiger...

And I agree, something just isn't right about that whole deal although I can't really put my finger on it.
