White SchuPo NCO tunic Pic!

Just found another uniform like these! Czechoslovakian summer reissue no doubt!
Training, picture taken in Poland.

Yes, it looks like the training garb identified earlier as Czech khaki material. Interesting though. That is a Skoda machine gun (Austrian) and at least three of the men are wearing straps supporting what looks to be a holster on their right side. Might those be Steyr-Hahn holsters? One guy is wearing a standard cross-strap with his waist belt.

Here is a similar scene with MG108 :

'In April 1941, in an instruction from Techn.Pol.Schule – Zeugamt – Berlin, 12 mg 08 with accessories were issued to Res.Pol.Batl. 123, 124 and 181. This picture shows reservists training with Mg 08.'

I agree that these are re-purposed Czech tunics. The Pol training schools used a lot of ex-Czechoslovakian uniforms and equipment. You often see Czech helmets with Polizei decals in wear in photos of the various Polizei schools. They also wore green old style German Police tunics with the concealed buttons... some with rank and some without depending upon if the policemen were Anwarter or regular police attending a specialty school.
