More nice additions, thank-you Bill!
I note the white-piped fliegerblusen collars (e.g #1258 & #1263), sometimes seen but not that often.
Also, in posts #1255 & #1257 jackets with buttoned fronts and pockets. Some are fastened at the neck. I wondered if these were examples of the Waffenrock, issued briefly in 1939 - 40 as a proposed replacement for the Tuchrock and fliegerbluse. However, they are perhaps not quite the same (no top button apparent on the Waffenrock when fastened at the neck). I've added a picture of a Waffenrock for comparison, although they didn't always have collar piping - i.e those manufactured after March 1940 I believe.
Anyone have any ideas as to what they might be?Attached Files

Paul,
I'm glad you pointed out the three wearing those jackets. No breast eagle on them as well. I have to check my references on the jackets and see what I can find.

Mar 19 - HG Family photo portrait. I just received an album which has a few HG photos and also some Fallschirmjaeger photos. Most of the album contains family photos some during the war and many post war.Attached Files
