Description
Luftwaffe troops wore a huge variety of uniforms. Enlisted men generally wore uniforms issued from military depots. Most enlisted soldiers had wool trousers and a short jacket with two internal lower pockets, called a Fliegerbluse, as well as a dressier 4-pocket tunic, the Tuchrock. Officers wore the same general uniform styles, but as officers had to supply their own uniforms, they usually wore tailor made versions. There were also myriad varieties of specialized uniforms worn by certain units or in specific situations, from the tuxedo-style “gala” formal wear uniform of the pre-war period, to the plain coveralls worn by crews of anti-aircraft cannons. There were work uniforms, tropical and summer uniforms, and camouflage clothing for airborne troops and other Luftwaffe soldiers in ground combat. Flight crews had their own specialized gear, including leather jackets and warm, electrically heated suits. Most but not all Luftwaffe uniform jackets bore the Luftwaffe emblem.
Manufactured in a tan cotton/rayon, this RARE Tropical M41 Tunic is in VERY NICE used condition! It does show various signs of wear, along with stains and marks throughout, but otherwise VERY SOLID! Some slight rips and tears, where the original eagle was applied (and removed). There are loops to apply slip on shoulder boards, and all buttons are present and functional, and retains various traces of the original paint. Features a prominent manufacture and size stamp on the inside. Belt hooks are still present, and are original to this tunic.ds. Combat worn, it is in overall SUPERB used condition. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
