I think the trick is to pitch it at a level where the pictures are not too easy and not too obscure. Also to update it within a short timeframe if no answers are forthciming, otherwise people lose interest.

Time for someone else to take over

who the fug

Why not expand the thread to any war between 1901 and 2000, before we get too anal with WW2

Yes it is, playing the daughter of a White Russian emigre.

The 1st one is not strictly WW2,though it has a ww2 element. Involves mercenaries in contemporary eastern europe surveying a TR -era research facility.
