    Uniform removed DEMJANSK shield

    Picked up a big vet lot today, with everything the way that the vet left it., 73 years ago.
    Looks like he tore some awards off of prisoners; others , he took more time.
    This appears to be a shield that was sewn, without the backing, directly to a soldat's tunic.

          Shields that were attached to the tunic without the backing are not as unusual as expected. I´ve seen quite a few and recently bought a Leutnants tunic that has the Demjansk shield attached this way (period done). I´ll post pictures as soon as the tunic arrives.

            Thanks Matthias, I have never seen it before. Quite interesting. Is there a particular reason they would have done this?

                Maybe it simply looked better? For practical reasons? Minimize the chance for the shield to detach?

                A few pictures of the tunic mentioned:

                  Very nice.
                  Different number of holes and attachment method but I guess that would be up to the individual soldat and as long as there was no particular regulation covering the attachment method, I would guess that we would see a series of different ways to do it!!

                    Certainly up to the individual soldier.
