I have been asked what I think of the second pattern tropical tunics dated 1941.
I have no bone in that fight. All I can say is that some black panzer side caps dated 1941 by the manufacturer have a 1940 depot stamp in them (see below). Thus one could conclude that sometimes the date of the depot marking could lag behind the date of manufacture.
Beyond this I can not say more. I am equally as intrigued by black panzer sidecaps dated 1939. Second pattern tropical tunics dated 1941 seem to be in the same camp. "Why" ???
