Barn find anno 2010

I have seen small pockets like the one on the right added for slide rules used by artillery officers etc. They look like German modified field trousers, neat.

I miss living in Europe so much. I lived on a farm right next to a LW base and the people that owned the farm were there in 1945. When the Germans left and the Allies moved forward they went into the airbase with carts a loaded up. I cannot imagine how much stuff was laying around. My dad said the sides of roads were littered with gear. No suprise clothing was used for insulation.

Hello
Heard this before from my Dad as well !!! playing within the remnant of a German colone in the Ardennes , helmets all over , tunics in trucks , all kind of abandoned gear/equipment and the fact that he almost shot his brother while handling a Mp40 they had found !!! then trowing it in the river , apparently still there too !!! .
What I remember the most , was that , they found a truck with boxes full of uniforms , took a couple home , only to receive a harsh punishment by their Mother !!!.
The stuff is still out there !!! .
Regards
P-Y

Hallo!

The trousers looks to me wartime sweden made... Similars to the germans one, but differente in some parts, as the marking and some features...

Did you have check if on the lining there's any marking?

Cheers!

Hi,

There are absolutely no visible markings inside the trousers.

Those are no german trousers.

Great find! - I heard of a simular one, in Berlin: A uncle from a school-buddy of a friend bought a hole block, and during renovation they discovered the whole roof was padded with all kind of uniforms, from HJ to army, from SA to Volkssturm - obviously all uniforms came from residents of this block. And all ended up in the bin...

I said they look like German Trousers. I agree with you the buttons are Swedish type as well.

I would like to see more pictures of the pants if they are there. What do WWII Nowegian trousers look like? Those are odd with the pockets, if they are Swedish they should have the triple crown markings and date.

Hi guys,
The items are still at the farm where they were found, and I only shot these pics that Simon were kind enough to post here.

So, I have had these in hand, and nothing is really impossible as the "lot" consists of all kinds of left-overs from ww2.
Maybe the trousers are from a norwegian in the swedish-trained police-forces that came here in '45??

Not pictured are also a bunch of shoes, a sleeping-bag and bed-stuffing...

Best regards,

Are those last two reversible jackets (in blue gray or gray) made of wool and the white side made of cotton??
