Questions from a newbie on Luftwaffe uniforms

[RichardGroves]

Gentlemen,

I have some questions for you about Luftwaffe Waffenrocks and Tuchrocks.

I have seen that in the Heer Battle Shields, Campaign Cuff Titles, Unit Cuff Titles, and Tank/Aircraft Destruction Badges were only worn on the Service Tunics and Combat Tunics and that cuff titles were worn on the Greatcoat. Is this the same in the Luftwaffe? I guess in the long run I want to know if these things were worn on the Parade Dress Waffenrock, Evening Mess Dress Uniform, and Dress Uniform Tuchrock? I know they were worn on the Service Dress Tuchrock and the Field/Flight tunic, the Fliegerbluse. I have looked and looked for this information all over the net and cannot find anything.

Thanks,

Rich

CT were also worn on battle tunics as you call it and on the service tunics. Grossdeutschland is a good example of this but also Afrikakorps and SS to name a few.

I have seen cuff titles and campaign shields on period tuchrocks and waffenrocks. I have never seen a tank destruction badge on a Luftwaffe tunic, even in a period photo.
