M36

[Lt Visser]

Can anyone tell me why some M36 tunics have the 3 holes on the left and right on the front side and some tunics don't?

The Model 33 Feldbluse is made with two rear 3 hole belt ramps, the modified 34 up to the model 43 have two sets front and rear.
These are issue tunics. in some cases a custom tunic could be made without the belt ramp holes of the same enlisted type wool for Officers, additionally, there are modified tunics, where when the tunic is shortened, the lower pockets are raised up and cover the belt ramp holes on the front of the tunic. In this case the belt ramp holes will still be visible on the inner liner or inside the lower pockets.

In my experience, this is the most encountered reason.

There is also the so-called "economy M36 tunic" which did not have the holes in front.

Perhaps Visser can post a photo of the tunic in question ?
