During World War 2, Bulgarian parachutists trained alongside German Fallschirmjäger and even used the same equipment, such as M37 helmets and jump smocks patterned in Luftwaffe-Splittermuster 41. [Image: Brad Turner collection.]

Kingdom of Bulgaria

The Kingdom of Bulgaria was established on 5 October 1908 (22 September OS) when the Principality of Bulgaria officially proclaimed itself independent from the Ottoman Empire and was elevated to the style of kingdom. This move also formalised the annexation of the Ottoman province of Eastern Rumelia, which had been under Bulgarian control since 1885. In 1946 the monarchy was abolished, its final Tsar was sent into exile and the kingdom was replaced by a People's Republic.
