    Strange uniform short M44 style

    It's obviously not Heer-Army but its in field gray (or Italian wool?)
    so I thought I would start here as the insignia might not be original to the piece...
    What the heck is this?

      Insignia details...Some kind of a TeNo like technical unit? "THW"??/ Werkschutz?
      I guess I should try the civilian section too....

        OK never mind I figured it out already...
        Its Federal West German "Technische Hilfs Werke"...
        A post war TeNo organization...Insignia has that WW2 feel,....

        I guess this is why the tag was removed to hide its West German origin!
        Second image a modern patch! The logo is very Third Reich inspired!
        The "T" changed slightly...dropped in modern patch!

        This organization was founded in Bonn in 1950 I am reading...
        I wonder if they had left over ww2 Italian wool for the production of these early coats?
