Hello I have to share my new M36..... It is original no touched piece, full of dust and so on...piece with spirit

Interesting, basically an officers cut uniform with bullion eagle, but adorned with low ranking corporal insignia. He must have served in a headquarters setting or more likely he was undergoing officers training and was issued his temporary rank while going through officers school? (provided of course the insignia is original to the tunic...Appears to be...based on the moth damage. So a Panzergrenadier-Regiment 108 uniform!
The tunic also lacks the provisions for an officers dagger...no suspension. I bet not slit inside the pocket either, which would be proof this assembly is original "as is". What a find!

I THINK this unit was DESTROYED at Stalingrad then raised again in 1943...Billbert
