OT question

[jürgen]

Hex guys

Does anyone Have pics or evidence
That the OT used french Army tunics?

I know the where issued early with czech uniforms

But i cant find infos on french stuff

[GAMS1]

I can tell you i found a lot of OT reissued french uniforms in Germany for example ...stamped OT Wiesbaden or simply OT .
It's a classical as the french EM jacket is very close to the OT "Fliegerbluse"cut , in colour also !
A lot of french cloth was used also , wool and gabardine for OT German cut uniforms .

I agree with Nick. I wrote Jurgen a very similar response a couple of days ago by PM, repeated here;
Hi Jurgen
I believe French stocks were initially used and the OT uniform that looks like a LW flieger bluse but with exposed buttons is a copy of a French uniform (with just skirt pockets) in other words its patterned (copied) after it.
Since OT was doing so much work at the Atlantic wall with one of the biggest stretches of coast in Frence it's only natural...French buckle belts were used a lot too by OT members.
The GL (General Luftzeugmeister) used dyed French uniforms...so did NSKK freiwilligen in the early days at driving schools in French and Belgium (dyed black).
Have no clear photos but I can check....
