Yes they do! In 1944 there was a greater number of low boots then before, but jackboots were not out of stock.

Original one. Not bad.
But a 68 shell would fit better.
I have the same size, I had the same problem before.

It looked like your helmet is a bit to small for your head.
What is the size of your helmet bowl? What is the size of your field cap?

It look quiet all right, so far I see.

There is ONE photograph of a high officer using a sumpf jacket, that's it. ALL the others are wearing splinter. Maybe it is beacause LW soldiers didn`t have time to take pictures at the time Sumpftarn Jackets were introduced? How many pictures of Splitter Jackets from 1945 you have? It is the same ...

It is a matter of caliber. Post-War Nato 7,62mm x51 ammo is 6mm shorter than the wartime ammo 7,92mm x 57. It is not possible to use a MG3 Belt for 7,92mm x57.

Hi Jim I've never seen the Feldbrau M43s tunics being worn by Field Division troops. The only picture, which is still in doubt, is possible Feldbrau M43s being worn by Hermann Goring Division troops. Apart from this photo I've not seen any more possible blue M43s in use apart from some members of G...

That is true. But Breslau is special. In early Feburary 1945 the II./Fallschrimjäger-Regiment 25 and III./Fallschrimjäger-Regiment 26 landed in Breslau. These are part of the 9.Fallschirmjäger division, it was no elite unit. It got only secound class equipment and young bad trained soldiers. So it i...

These photo shows only a soldier in Luftwaffe uniform in Breslau, but he can not be a member of a Fielddivision. In 1945 only three divisions exsited, in Norway, Kurland and Balkan. He could be a member of the Fallschirmjäger in Breslau or other Luftwaffe unit.
