What tropical/summer tunics are they wearing?

[BenVK]

I've been doing a bit of research into the type of uniforms worn in Greece and found this puzzling photo.

What tunics are these and are they cuff titles the Oberfeldwebel in the centre is wearing or something else?

They look like hbt jackets which is a lightweight jacket

The cufftitles on the oberfeldwebel are actually der speiss markings

Brilliant picture

Spiess - not speiss

Tunics in the middle look like captured ones - they took them over after battle of crete. So either british or greek ones.

No not really. The soldats in Ben's photo have four button tunic's, not five and without the collar hook.

Thats why I stated SIMULAR, and not HUNDRED % THE SAME...

They look to be the same as the shortened British ones in this thread.

Maybe they are pre-war Austrian summer tunics??? Here's one that I have in my collection....it's an oatmeal color fabric:



Horrido!
