Too funny...
As "proof of authenticity" he put a black light "test" on YouTube...
Describing the eagle as the "logo" of the garment.

No he claims the eagle was verified.Ed. Anderson,Jr.
The film "Idiocracy" was originally released as a comedy. Now it has been re-released as a documentary.
Sarcasm is just one of my many talents!

I am the buyer of this 'brothel jacket' after people confirmed it was Marinehelferin. I studied, and tried it on. There's no way this was made for a man. It's all fitted for a female. An interesting note, someone started sewing button holes in one section of the uniform. The work smocks had buttons.

Great piece. I figured you snagged it. I hope you'll provide me photos for the book.
Warm Regards Jim

Also, isn't size "2" and American convention -- I'd expect something like "32" or higher in Germany? Maybe it's not a size label?

I'm certain its the military sizing used on smocks, coats etc. where specific chest, collar etc measurements aren't necessary. Its usually denoted in Roman Numerals like I, II etc. Jim
