Quilted reversible winter uniform

[johnny_ola2000]

I was wondering if anyone has photos of the quilted version of the reversible winter uniform, so far I can only remember seeing one photo - in the old Brian L. Davis book on Werhmacht uniforms I think.
They must have been rare since they never show up on photos.

I have plenty, but have to refrain from showing them as they are incorporated in my book on German Army and Luftwaffe Winter uniforms. I will look through my files to see if I can come up with some spare pictures. If you do a search on the forum, you should be able to find some nice photographs...


Kind Regards,

Pity that most photos are gone...

After seeing those lovely pictures, I could not keep myself from posting this one...

Hope it is of help.

thanks!

Didn't know these garments were a Luftwaffe special

[Vincent S.]

They weren't. This is a common misunderstanding, mainly caused by erroneous publications.

I have a few photos with quilted winter gear but not many!

Without doubt interesting pictures! The soldier in the trench appears to be wearing a Russian Telogreika; or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

He has left his pockets on the "outside" and most probably forgot to push them through.

I'm unsure if this is quilted, Or even relevant to the Thread, but there all in White winter gear!
