M-44 tunics in wear

[OSS]

I recently found this studio portrait of an Obergefreiter wearing an M-44:

[Simon O.]

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.

That's an important point. Look at photographs for sale on ebay.de and see how many are from 45. Very few indeed.

Here is one...

And though the tunic in the second foto is not an M44....it is certainly a interesting way the wear the tunic...

That is a neat way to wear it.I wonder if this was somewhat common practice for the M-44.Keep these photographs coming,they're treasures

Nice photo! He also tucked his trousers in his socks.
I would say that he did that because he is a crew-man for an armoured vehicle.
So he wouldn't get stuck in it.
Note his Panzer-Sturmabzeichen in bronze and headphones in left hand.

SS M44?

Yes, I should think so. Well known image of Wallonian troops.

Unique photograph.It appears too that the one 2nd left foreground has an eye-patch.Nice to see a photo of an M-44 that appears to be 'on the field'.Wonder how many more M-44 photos turn up.

2 more pictures I got from the E-Stand.

The first one is obviously a M44.

Concerning the second one, I bought it as a M43 and after receiving it this morning, I got a doubt that it could be a closed M44 as the front panel with the button holes goes "really far to the other side" (please pardon this aweful sentence but I don't how else I could explain it) if you compare it with the collar. This could indicate a M44 but nothing certain.
I would be glad to hear your opinions.

Best,

Max

IMO it is a M43 in the 2nd photo, nice photos!

One more received today: M44 with PAB and what seems to be a Demjansk shield. Interesting also the wear of dark green (Black?) should boards.
