"Der Spiess" Collective Organizations

[-Ray-]

I have searched for a consolidated thread illustrating "Der Spiess" tunics. There are plenty of nice tunics posted but threads with scattered density.

Please share your lovely tresse enamored "Top Kick" tunics incorporating all branches. Thank you.

Nice combat worn example, note the sharp collars. J

That was a quick response. Nice tunic for sure with natural fair wear and tear just they way we like to see'm.

Beautiful tunic. Really enjoy the interesting and excellent provenance. This lineage is always like a bonus.

Why not post any items please associated with "Der Spiess" Ranks and duties, i.e. soldbuchs or those leather unit roster binders often tucked in their filed blouse front panels etc.

Thanks for sharing.

Here is a tunic that is no longer in my collection and hopefully the new owner doesn't mind me sharing it.

The tunic is attributed to Eugen Flad and he is shown here conducting his Spiess duties.

And a photo of a Spiess meeting with his Leutnant from the photo album of the Leutnant that I own.

Let me know if more photos are of interest as I probably have a couple more.

[Fred Fokkelman]

Very, very impressive Adam. My sincere compliments!

[Adam S.]

Thank you Fred much appreciated. Hopefully we will get some more Spiess displays shown here.

Here are a couple photos of a very worn M44 tunic for a Der Spiess engineer. T is very rare to encounter this model of tunic with collar tress. Mike Davis has one in his virtual collection on his fine website.
