Greetings Jonathan:
Your posting is fine and it looks like you are a history buff. The invasion was the Allies Invasion of Iran, do not forget USA because if it wasn’t because of USA, the complete plan of using Iran as “The Bridge to Victory” would collapse, furthermore, the whole world of today would have been speaking German and residing under the Nazi boots! USA is the reason that both WWI and WWII has been won by the Allies and as the American politicians love to say: “God Bless America”! Imagine if USA did not enter the war, you could have been speaking German in London today! Imagine that if you can?!
The pictures you have found on the net are most likely the ones I have uploaded and you can view them on:
Reza Shah the Great, The Real Storyhttp://iranpoliticsclub.net/history/reza-shah/index.htmPictorial History of the Iranian Military Uniforms: Chapter 21: Pahlavi Uniforms 1http://iranpoliticsclub.net/photos/U21- ... /index.htmHave in mind that these were basically earlier uniforms and later on, the Iranian military uniforms were more or less similar to the Nazi German Military Uniforms, specifically Wehrmacht:
The reason is that German architects, engineers, military attaches and other consultants were ordered by Reza Shah to help him build the new Iran. On the surface and officially Iran was neutral but in reality Iran was always a German sympathizer and Reza Shah admired the Axis and Hitler.
In both WWI and WWII, Iran was a German sympathizer because of the long history of the Anti British and Anti Russian feelings of the Iranians due to the colonial intentions of UK and Russia for Iran. Persians by majority were always Germano-Feel.
Also have in mind that Persians and Germans are both Aryans. Hitler specifically referred to Persians as fellow Aryans. Persians being Aryans does not mean that every Iranian is Aryan, well look at Ahmadinejad, Rouhani and the IRI Regime officials, they are more likely half breed Arabs and very similar to Baboons in the mist!
In the future I shall publish more Iranian uniforms during WWII in the proper articles and books which will be published in IPC. Until then, stay tuned.
Cheers
AX
