so famous none knows about them
“Klobuk” is the blanket name used for most rimmed hats in Slovenian
The coats look very dapper!
theres mountains in poland?
They look fabulous.
I didn’t know the poles took part in the defence of Norway. That’s awesome!
Unfortunately they had to lose a lot of their cool pre-WWII badges, because of the Austrian moustache painter man.
