    Luftwaffe snow camo

    Though it doesn't perfectly match the description of a Gebirgsjäger anorak, it is close. From GP's collection. Thoughts, ideas, comments?

            Hi Will,
            I remember seeing something similar a few months back, which is part of the emergency survival kit stored on an aeroplane. I could not find the thread, but if I do I will bump it to the top.

              Jerry, I have heard that as well. But, I have not been able to confirm it and I wonder why it is made like a GBJ anorak. It doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

                Hi Willi, yes, I never understood why they were cut like an GBJ anorak, but that they are Luft survival kit was the opinion of all when it was posted. I could'nt find the thread, but there is an eagle still insitu on the luft breast eagles thread, about 3 pages back, it is the later version than the one you have shown and was posted by Harry. Here it is.

                    Thanks Steve and Jerry.

                    I would still like to find a reference to the survival kit angle. It just seems so nicely made for something to use only when bailing out (or crashing) in a snow covered region.

                      I have some doubts about the early eagle....is it really legit? It looks a bit like some of the fake tropical shirt eagles out there...

                        I have an eagle like this and feel it is 100% period. Are there any LBA marks on any of these examples?

                          hallo,

                          es ein winterschutzanzug zur notausrüstung des fliegenden personals. da er über die uniform bzw. über den fliegeranzug getragen wurde, hat er zur kennzeichnung einen adler. damit sollte wohl der komatenten status erhalten werden.

                          den adler 1 modell wie hier gezeigt halte ich nicht für original.

                          im buch wehehygiene von 1943 wird diese winterschutz anzug beschrieben und gezeigt. das dürfte alle zweifel bezüglich gebirgsjäger beenden.

                          verstaut war der anzug in der packhülle "winterschutz", der auf dem rücken getragen wurde.

                          gruss

                            FW190 - great info, as usual.
                            Has anyone ever seen a pair of those gloves!!
                            Also, there appears to be some variation - the pants in the photos in the book appear to have leg pockets....

                              here is another with a supposed 1st pattern embroidered directly to the anorak..I still have doubts....
