Luftwaffe Waffenrock detail query

[kerryboo]

Hello all,
I have a couple of questions regarding this photo of a newly issued uniform.. Firstly the position of the eagle, all others I have seen overlap the pocket flap. Secondly the lower "bellows" pockets are flat and plain. The collar also seems to be somewhat large, but that may be due to its newness in the photo and it is without patches. It is difficult to be sure, but the shoulder straps seem to be sewn in. Is this, perhaps, some form of flak helper uniform, the wearer does look very young?
Thanks for looking,
Kerry.

Hello Kerry,

You will probably get some response if you post this picture in the Luftwaffe Flying Corps section: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...play.php?f=116

Hello Steve,
Thank you for the suggestion, I have opened a thread on the LW forum. Perhaps, as you say, it will prove a more suitable platform!
Many thanks,
Kerry.
