The M-1942 sweater (turtleneck)

[Grubhy]

Not sure what do You mean by 'regulations'. Turtelneck sweaters were introduced by the end of 1942 or in first months 1943.

I must add to previous observations that is not easy to make perfect ( or even good) copy of these sweaters due to special kind yarn ( blend of cellulose and wool) used to knit them.

Two M36 Schlupfjacken im Normandie, please note mixture of uniform garment. IMHO the best is: tropical M40 peaked cap together with winter camo parka

Not sure what do You mean by 'regulations'.

A "Vorschrift," i.e. how they should be made.

Hello all,

in regards to post #29, it looks to me that the soldier on the left is wearing a French M36 jersey. I have observed this kind of jerseys very often on the northern African theatre. Any one confirms this theory? I guess the Wehrmacht ceased a huge amount of them in 1940 since their colour is just perfect for Africa.

Cheers

Hello Robert,

unfortunately I don't have a scanner, but such a jersey is pictured in Olivier Bellec's book "1940 - le soldat francais", page 85.
I will try to find pictures of the jersey in use from my archive.

Cheers
Teka

This tropical V neck is dated 1942 - (a tenuous link but I thought I'd add it)
Teka - Wonderful to see the French sweater

Fantasic!

Thank You Teka!

very interesting
i hadnt seen a blue striped v neck heer jumper until now-is this blue or faded green?
blue stripes chimes with blue stripes on scarves-but i thought the blue striped scarves often sold as heer scarves are actually post war. so what is the blue stripe jumper here? luft? post war? faded green? intreguing....
what i would like to know is this-------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE GERMAN COMPANY THAT MAKES REPRO HEER V-NECK JUMPERS TODAY????? apparently they made them during the war. point is, why on earth dont they start making the closed 'crew' neck heer jumpers with green stripes?
they should be commanded to start making the closed necked versions immediately. surely it isnt rocket science.

Very nice genuine sweater Jan, I'm more than sure that You already know that

V-neck in M36 cut but made during later part of manufacturing. I would like to ask about the size:- Does it small or large? My is also marked by woven size tag '2', so in the middle of the scale.

I've seen another example finished in same way, will provide pics when I get home.

Awesome thread

I'm really curious about these woven size tags. I have an issue M43 tunic with a similar tag sewn in the collar along with the remains of a name/tailor tag. The tunic itself is around a size 38/40 and has traces of a size stamping although illegible now.

Hello Grubhy,

It is a small size, by the way, this sweater was shown in one of our articles in the French 39/45 magazine n° 219.

(the figurant/photomodel is posing here has a Hilfswilliger in a horse drawn unit.)
