    Luftwaffe "G L" troops revisited

    Luftwaffe "G L" revisited.
    Luftwaffe "General Luftzeugmeister" technical officials.

    First a repeat of some period images (posted before by me and fellow WAF members),
    illustrating the wide variety of uniforms and insignia worn!

    Uniform evolution of these aviation technical specialists:
    - black dyed French uniforms with "Roman "G L" cyphers
    - black dyed Luftaffe fliegerblusen with GL insignia
    - regular LW fliegerblusen

                  Here you can tell the clear difference between black dyed and standard LW
                  fliegerblouses eventhough its a b/w image! Big contrast!

                    Now lets bring these pictures alive! IN COLOR!!

                    This is a reconstruction of what such a "G L" uniform would have looked like in WW2.
                    A black dyed war time fliegerbluse with pants, badged as a Luftwaffe Luftzeugmeister aeronautical technician!
                    Everything shown is original in these images but restored...but hey...
                    Ask the question: how often have you seen one of these in real life? (untouched or restored...never?)

                      Close up! The "G L" cyphers are pretty much unobtainable...
