GJ white officers summer tunic

Post by Yuri »

Does anyone knows something more about such uniform type:

Tunic got some resemblances to SS-VT 37 ie. lower pocket flaps and construction.

Its some Heer obsolete summer uniform which Ive didnt knew or something maybe one-time custom made? Maybe someone got any more photos of such uniforms not only in GJ version in use?

Many thanks for any help!

Servus Yuri,

Looks like a private-purchased tailored officer's uniform. Hard to tell if the uniform is white or tan. I know the German Army had White Summer Tunics, but I have never seen breeches like that, plus having a matching Bergmütze...thus, my thinking that it's a tailored made group.

I'll post some photos later.

Horrido!

Yuri,

Here's another similar tailor-made tunic...I think it's tan with a dark green collar...Italian theater:
