Early Tunic!

[Lorenz]

Dear friends,collectors,
This earth-brown tunic, come from family, in Italy, come from Germany after the war with an Italian prisoner of War in KZ.
After released the KZ by the US soldiers, they gived some old tunics stockaged in the KZ to change the cloths of prisoners to return back at home in Italy.
The tunic was gived without buttons and insigna, the prisoner sewn on the tunic some italian buttons to close the tunic.
Here it is.
THE WOOL VERSION OF THE EARTH-BROWN TOTENKOPVERBANDE 35/36 TUNIC?
There isnt tags in cloth (maybe one time) and the number of size "48" is very very light visible in the correct position in the lining on the back, is used and washed.
It's almost identical at my HBT Totenkopfverbande tunic and have all the characteristics.
In the Beaver book it's writed in the pages 927/928/929 that this tunic in this color (earth-brown) was permitted ONLY in the confines of the KZ, without exception.
I will be very happy to share knowledge with all of you about this early and not very knowed Tunics
Thankyou

Dear Lorenz, The story that you tell about where these tunics come from is true as if you look at one of the AFTER THE BATTLE magazines there are some photos showing some former KZ prisoners being given various items of ss clothing without the badges i think it was dach, sorry about my spelling. I dont know what issue of magazine these photos appeared one of the later issues. Regards Fusilier.
