white panzer wraps

[Gran Sasso]

Interesting thread,

I picked up a strange Panzer cut-off that I have never been able to explain

Cut off a white Panzer wrap ???

One can but speculate,

Could also came from a female work dress - army helferinnen wore black eagles on tunics and caps, too.

Of course the white service dress worn by Heer Helferinnen was manufacturered from a light linen or cotton mix, not HBT as your material seems to be. I can't recall any Heer Helferinnen work dresses or smocks made from HBt. Not to say they couldn't have been worn, since work smocks exist that were made from HBT. Here's the one piece white dress for Heer Helferinnen, ex Gran Sasso collection. Jim

Found the photo I referred to earlier. In Pruett and Edwards: "Field Uniforms of German Army Panzer Forces in World War 2". Page 30

Yep, I recall seeing that pic but I was sure there were a couple more of them around...

My guess would also be they are part of a singing group. I have seen similar photos in private albums. The white SS tunics are for stewards and waiters. This was an official uniform etc.
