From the pics I saw I didn't see any East Baltics. Most are Baltic, Nordic, Noric and Dinaric...very few Alpines.

So I'd say Baltic + Dinaric.

You make a good point, it can be a slight illusion due to identical uniforms and hats....I'll look more closely at the noses...

A couple o fmy Polish friend have really LARGE feature...especially the noses and mouth...I don't know if that is common, I can't really tell by the pictures....

But anyway, good point.

They don't look very homogenous to me. They basically show all the characteristics of present day young Poles.

Many are fair haired, tall, and interestingly, very few have flat occiputs. In fact, many are quite long headed.

The most common types are Baltic and Baltic/Nordic, other mixed Nordic types, and then Noric and Dinaric. But like I said, very few have the flat occiputs of classic Dinarics.

Most fit somewhere in between these types here...

In the pics with the hats off we can see that Poles are still very much high headed.

If we were to compare these people to older generations, you'd find many more stocky, round faced and round headed types. Just look at any shots of Polish politicians and you'll see.

I wonder how Scandinavian recruits would compare in terms of pigmentation.

Other than that most of them look like typical Baltics. The Baltic type is common among Slavs Balts and Ugro-Finns.

Yeah but fair hair is still fair hair. Dark hair won't look fair no matter how short it is.

Dark hair won't look fair no matter how short it is. It is not a matter of hair "looking fair", it is a matter of the scalp skin showing through the hair.
