The E.Reitz hoard !!

I was able to buy these jackets recently.
They all come from the same veteran who probably "liberated" these bodywarmers at the time that the factory had just been left by the Germans and stockpiles of unissued uniforms were available.

So that makes these uniforms "factory fresh" unissued examples.
Also note the variety of stamps used !

Enjoy !

Colors are a bit off here and there, sorry about that.
I'm playing with my photoshop to make it look better, but I'm still in the learning phase...

weaving process sure looks the same
but this type of eagle is unknown to me.
Another "weird" thing is the upper feather line.
With the well known Belgian made examples this line has a tip of which the angle is different from the four lower feather lines
whereas in this example all 5 feather line tips have the same angle.

Apart from the eagle's body itself of course..

My humble contribution ...

Nice.

It seems like everytime I turn around I see another propaganda pamphlet or paper I've never seen before. Now here's another - "De SS Mann".

Here's a negative from my collection showing a Flemish volunteer.
Check the buckle...

[Kris]
