The guy in the foreground is probably East German, based on the helmet resting on the crate at his side.

The guy with the chickens is harder to place. He looks like he's wearing U.S. WWII-era "Duckhunter" pattern cammies (also used in Korea and Vietnam). It doesn't really look very much like any Warsaw Pact camouflage pattern (Bulgarian is the closest but it uses more angular blotches) that I know of.

The closest match that I could find on Camopedia was this:

"Polish military parachute shrouds for special operations (vice standard airborne operations, which have always been white) have been printed with a unique spot pattern (also nicknamed Żaba or "frog") since the 1960s. This pattern, its design incorporating black and orange spots on a pale green background, became popular with Polish airborne and special operations personnel, who cannibalized the parachutes and had one and two-piece customs uniforms created out of them. Although not officially produced by the government, these privately obtained uniforms remain in use well into the present era."

Cover of the 1st Ed box set. The stark nature of the art, and the eyes of the subjecfs? It says it all.

That's perfect! As an aside, as bad as that movie was, I find it horribly entertaining.
