Any evidence of M43 tunics made with the same kind of cotton linings like in M42 and older designs?
Cant recall ever seeing it.
Thankful for any help

Hello, There's an M43 feldbluse in the book Feldbluse, lined in green cotton twill (apparently used in tropical bluses). -
There are even original examples of M-44s lined with cotton twill.Comment

To make thinks more complex there was a fabric made from rayon that emulated cotton in general look and feel much more than it did silk the more often encountered form of rayon fabric. Based on what I have handled the Heer at least (don't know about LW and W SS) started getting tunics lined with artificial silk/rayon in the later part of 1942, so in was for sure introduced before 1943. The question always is how long did the transition take?Comment

cotton twill lining appears in all kind of german WW2 army garements of all stages of war. especially tropical green-brown twill is often seen in very late garments.Comment
