Civilian style worn between the 40s and 1960s. There was a thread recently on coats of this style.

Erich is right, a civilian coat.

some senior nazi govt. officials and general-rank officers added insignia but so what? for the past 40 years people have flogged these as "gestapo," "nazi political leader," etc. but this is the perfect example of the old warning: buy the item not the story...

anyway there are many of these around for not massive money. they're an excellent coat for winter wear in europe if in good shape tho you may be stared at!
