Bill and Jan, those were my thoughts exactly when I first saw the caption under the picture, thoughts which I echoed in my post. However, it isn't out of the realm of possibility if one considers that the Gaz could have been acquired from Yugoslavia. Tito and the anti-fascist forces were closely allied to the Soviets and were perhaps receiving aid in the form of vehicles from Russia. Italy and Yugoslavia share a border so, who knows? I agree with both of you that it is more likely a picture from Korea but haven't completely ruled out Italy. Derek.
