    Always nice to see -IMO- those early shoulder boards on late war tunics, a clear veteran status also in this case.


    Nice photo Z but that is a M-43 tunic with the front lapels pressed open.

      Yes, you are correct Glenn, I was too hasty and forgot to notice the collar hooks...

          Can't really blame you, it does have the triangular eagle wich is not commonly seen on M-43s.

            Thank you ;-)... plus the lack of NCO tresse around the collar did not make me think twice...

              Like often seen, most of them appear to be wearing rather the M43 than M44 trousers. I always find this intriguing, one would think the trousers would be sooner worn out (i.e. replaced) in stead of the tunic.

                Great thread!So many rare and unique photos here.The M44 is a nice piece of garb which was born pretty much out wartime necessity.I'm sure a decent amount was on the frontlines but its such a scarce and elusive tunic that combat photos were VERY rare.Would love to find more photos of this Bluse

                  True, both for the reasons that making photos in the frontline was prohibited and restricted only for the PK. Also, the M44 tunic was actually not intended to be worn on leave, but a true combat tunic (same as for the M43 cap). Of course this order was often ignored.

                    Found this on the web.I also saw this photo in a book.Its only part of a larger photo but is a good example of a M44 Bluse.

                      Yes, this photo appeared in Brian L. Davis' classic reference work "German Army Uniforms and Insignia 1933-1945". Note the wear of M-43 trousers.

                        One more from my collection.

                        One thing: when looking carefully at the M44 eagle's stitching, to me it really looks like some of the M44 jacket declared "restored" when shown on this forum.

                        Is there something that I miss ? Like something specific to differenciate a replaced eagle from an original one with this "line stitching" (apart from the mark of a former eagle)?


                        Thanks !!

                          Nice photo; the tunic (and factory eagle application) looks typical to me.

                              Wonderful photographs!Glad to see more being addedWhat I noticed just now is that I haven't seen any photos of M-44 with equipment being worn.I guess in someways it say's about the limited use of the feldbluse.

                                I guess it's also that not so many people were taking pictures on the frontline in 1945 (most of my pictures showing M44 jackets are from 1945). Some were taken in studio or at home during permissions but on the frontline itself, not sure it was the priority then.
