POSTING NICKs COLLECTION!

[NickG]

Similar one but tailored in the US, named to an officer by the name of Vogel.
Dutch rank stars were missing..

[NickG]

Continuing the Dutch theme but now on the opposing side, a unique survivor (also found in the States) a Dutch officers uniform of the NOC which stands for "Nederlands Oost Compagnie" (Netherlands East Company).

This pro German unit was raised to help colonize the occupied Eastern territories and these men served primarily in the Baltics and Ukraine in rebuilding efforts... This is no doubt the only uniform of this kind that has survived the war in its original unmolested state...
Estimated amount of personnel deployed in the east 400 (on ratation)

[NickG]

Originally applied "Dutch legion" type SS shield

[NickG]

Period image (same shield)

[NickG]

Interesting tropical KM chevron which is buckram backed
(like a collar tab!)

[NickG]

Panzer coverall (this one Dutch maker tagged) but German design intended originally for the KM as a leather protective garmet + period image in wear!
