more pictures

closer pictures of details............

[Gran Sasso]

Yes, submarine (called by collctors)

[glaser]

Kriegsmarine, more used on surface ships than on u-boats based on looking at wartime pictures

KM for sure but seen late war in several period pictures being worn by some Pz crews also...(Puma crews in 1945)
Nothing to do with Luftwaffe, its Kriegsmarine!

[A.H. Thomassen]

I have to say in all honesty that I find it quite funny that leather-garments in general automatically is linked to the U-boat force. But on the other side I guess that labelling anything - whatever slightly - to U-boats keeps jerking the total sales price two-fold or three-fold...

But! Here's 2 ORIGINAL pre-war pictures showing the use of similar leather-garments in the Kriegsmarine - and they are used by crewmembers from the "Zerstörer Hermann Künne" (beached April 13th 1940) while undergoing some artillery training sessions on the Artillerieschulschiff "Bremse" so speaking of late war use is... well, a little wrong in my humble opinion.
