    Looking for pictures of KM jackets used by Panzer

    Hello Guys,
    I am looking for pictures of panzer crews wearing KM jackets converted to panzer.

    Greetings Vincent

    Hi!

    What KM leather jacket you mean? The collarless three pockets or the panzer wraps-like looking?

    Cheers, Frank Savage

        He has a striaght black leather deck jacket with Oberst Panzer boards sewn on. Just the regular deck coat in use by Tank crews etc. I think he would like to see.

                Hi!
                Great pic of the jacket worn with open collar. The guy doesn't change the buttons, as mostly of its 'kameraden' does, and still carried the original KM buttons.

                Cheers, Frank Savage

                    Yes indeed the case, good observation. I noticed it also. They often did not bother switching over buttons... The shoulder buttons are pebbled and added because KM leather coats did not come with shoulder buttons/shoulder straps...
                    The sleeve/cuff buttons are the original ANCHOR Kriegsmarine type, so most likely all buttons are KM still...Why bother fixing this! there is a war going on!

                    So I guess its really only PARTIALLY converted to panzer!!!
