in our group we use uniform sorts made by: Keith (HK) – unfortunatelly he closed his store on Ebay, STURM – they produce the best “StuG” trousers, and also “Ant Z” (not bad blouse, but poor quality trousers) :

Hello, on period photographs I saw both types of boots used by panzer crews – jackboots (without hobnails) and low boots. Low boots was used without gaiters – trousers was put on the socks or tuck the ends of their trousers into the low boots. http://images27.fotosik.pl/201/a923e54dc53a321c.jpg http...

Would you care to share your evidence of the 116th in italian camo?

Yes, of course.

Now I have evidence that before the battle in Normandy, clothes in Italian camo (Milano M29) was wide distributed in 116. Panzer division and in 21. Panzer Division, so I’m almost sure that this type of camouflage was also used in Panzer-Lehr.

Alex - this picture was taken during historical event (“IV Piknik Militarny”) last weekend, which took place in Polish Army Musem in Warsaw – this thing behind me is part of postwar Russian anti-aircraft rocket system.

Hello,
is it true that before the battle in Normandy, soldiers from 116.Panzer Division and 130. Panzer-Lehr-Division got a big quantity of Italian camo (Millano M29) cloths?

Thanks in advance
