Here's an interesting one, an infanterie waffenrock showed up at a medals store near where I work and I was quite interested since I am trying collect stuff on 18 Infanterie Regiment/6 Div.
What confused me was:
Now while its not uncommon to chop and change, I thought regulation would have demanded at least consistent numbering of the unit, esp on a dress uniform!
I took a quick snap with my mobile phone camera so apologies for the quality but what do you think?
What confused me was:
- the boards had "18" on them
- the buttons that held down the boards had "16" on them
- and there was documentation that came with the waffenrock which said the guy was from 3/JR47!!
