Hello,
I kindly ask for your opinions about this tunic. I thought drill tunic first, but....

This is a Heer tunic, part of a particular 2 pièces suit adopted in november 1939 named "Schilfgrün Schutzanzug für Geschützbedienungen des Batterien (E) und Bedienungen der 2 cm Flak".
Original, too bad for its poor condition.

Derka is correct, it is a rare piece of clothing. Also used by Nebelwerfer and rail gun crews.

Thank you. Found with 2 hbt tunics, hbt wraper, hbt trousers, various backpacks- gebirgs, artillery, breadbags and lots od other stuff. Unfortunately each and every piece is somehow more or less damaged.

Many of these things were used long after the war as work clothes by everyday people and POWS.

Hard to appreciate, as it looks a coverall with tunic tucked inside trousers, here worn by (E) Batterie crews :





On this one, almost invisible, you can guess the opening under the armpit of the tunic :

Complete suit worn by Nebeltruppen :

I know it is not the right thread...
Just two shots, not cleaned, as found. Looks a little better after cleaning. Missing all insignia.

Original 2nd type HBT wrap, it just lacks a breast eagle according regulation orders.
Any signs of colar insignias removed ?
