Yeah I know.. I chose this particular picture because it had the sash, and because the man is Swedish. Not to distract, but to hopefully give clue, since Sweden didn't do war and this man wasn't mercenary, I hoped that would have given some ideas that this is something weird, and the sash thing would open up the mystery.
But I admit, it was maybe too impossible to solve.

Apologize, should have specified. I am looking for the battle. Like I said, besides the fame of the picture, only the uniform and equipent could give you a hint of the time frame.

Increase Your PM Length

As the UN is so fond of telling us Peace Keeping isn't war. Apparently their role is to make both sides shoot at you instead of each other. Of course you returning fire is not needed for this to transpire.

As many as you want, if you get tired of it I'll tell you and someone can post something else.

It is the Ardennes. The cold weather gear would make it not possible to be Poland, though Russia/Stalingrad was a good guess. Maybe the picture isn't as recognizable as I thought.

Oh well, I leave the thread open to whoever wishes to post the next pic!

UN is us, not them. US is one of the 5 permanent members, and host of the headquarters...

And my buddy would gladly shoot some Israelis after they killed one of his fellow (noob) soldiers, but I think US would veto that, right?
