If you help us, I believe that we will achieve this goal together... How? You will help?... - Edward Gierek in Gdańsk Shipyard on January 25, 1971.

People's Republic of Poland
10 May 1974 P.C./ 1639 C.C.Y.
Wesoła military training ground

Soldiers gathered on the assembly square. They were not just any soldiers, but members of the newly formed 1st Infantry Division of the Kingdom of Altaras. 

They were armed with newly produced or sometimes stored in Polish warehouses military equipment from the Second World War times, but mixed with, for example, electronic equipment from the 70s such as radios or radars.

It was a very interesting appearance, namely, to the untrained eye they looked like soldiers of the 1st Tadeusz Kosciuszko Infantry Division, which was the beginning of the People's Polish Army.

Of course, they differed in details, such as their newly manufactured helmets were more like the wz.31 Salamadra helmets, and not Soviet helmets like the Poles then. The reason this helmet was called so is that the IIRP developed a special paint for their army that was applied to the helmet. If you look closely you can see that the lumps on the helmet look like what salamanders wear. 

You will ask why was this done? Because the paint kept the light from reflecting off the helmet. Needless to say, this helped a lot in ambushes of Polish soldiers in 1939.

Of course for many Japanese or Americans or westerners in general these helmets look very similar to American M1
