WW2 German Wehrmacht Windbluse – ITALIAN CAMOUFLAGE WIND BLOUSE – VERY NICE!

You are bidding on a FANTASTIC and 100% ORIGINAL example of a WW2 German  Wehrmacht Italian Camouflage Windbluse (Wind Blouse)!

In 1944, “telo mimetico” camouflage was adopted by the Germans and was distributed to Waffen-SS units operating in Italy and Normandy during the spring and summer of 1944. Most frequently published photos show members of the 1st and 12th SS Panzer Divisions wearing the Italian attire along with a mix of standard issue Waffen-SS uniforms and equipment. After the Italian surrender, stocks of the Italian pattern were captured and used on other fronts.

Made of a water-resistant, 3/4 length cotton, this unlined Wind Blouse/Anorak is in EXCELLENT used condition! Made from captured Italian camouflage material, it features a zip closure; an attached hood; and two breast pockets. Probably custom-tailored, or made in the field, there is a central tie at the waist. The wood buttons are present on the pockets, however, they are missing from both cuffs. They should be easy to replace, as originals come up. As this was used in combat, there is some slight wear and various marks and stains throughout. The lining in the hood is heavily worn, however the tie string is still present. This is about a Medium in size, and fits big as it was deigned to fit over the standard uniform and equipment, Would make for a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
