I was viewing the following PDF file on the Bundeswehr website just to see if any drastic changes had occurred since the last time I looked (several years ago).
I did come across one item that has me a bit confused and I'm sure it has more to do with my translation of German into English. On page 23 (24 of 39, if navigating within Acrobat) there is a photo showing an enlisted sailor in both summer and winter uniforms. The caption for the photo reads, "Grundform des Dienstanzugs Marine für Mannschaften bis zur Vollendung des 30. Lebensjahres"
Am I correct in that the caption is referring to a uniform combination for sailors older than 30 years? In viewing the group photo on the previous page, the only difference I can see are the different cap tallies -- most of the group appear to have tallies for their ships and/or schools as compared to the "Deutsche Marine" tally worn by this Matrose.
