The M-1942 sweater (turtleneck)

[poilu1917]

Fellas,
Does anyone out there have a army M-1942 sweater (turtleneck) in there collection. I have seen the pic in Uniforms & Traditions,but have never seen an example besides that. Of course there is original images of the sweater being worn (quite a lot in the later part of the war), but nothing of a clear shot of the sweater itself in terms of pattern & construction .

Just curious,
Jon

Does anybody else has any photos of an original? Were these sweaters issued throughout all branches of the Wehrmacht? I have recently seen a number of portrait photos of Luftwaffe men with dark colored turtleneck sweaters--are those most likely the "M-1942" sweater?

A bounch of sweaters like this was found in Italy 15 years ago together with bunches of splinter mittens. Could be it was an italian production.

I have seen / owned some of those, too. Apart from the color, they look 100% german.

Thanks so much for all the photos!

Till now I've seen only two textbook, undoublty period made German examples for sale. In my opinion most interesting item in my collection.
