    SS using Heer HBT tunic

    Does anyone have good clear pics of SS enlisted men wearing the Heer style 4 pocket hbt/drillich tunic in the field? I cannot find any definitive pics and need to confirm or disprove this uniform. I have plenty of images of the 2 pocket SS style in combat.

    Check Mike Beaver's third volume... I think there may be some pictures of real (in collector's realm), as well as era photos.

      Mike Beaver's 2nd volume (which also covers fatigue uniforms) shows various examples (+period pictures) of HBT 4 pocket uniforms in wear by Waffen SS troops.
      Here's an example of a 4 pocket HBT (6 buttons Heer type).

        Here's an example of a modified HBT tunic (full rank insignia added).
        Has no breast pockets so its clearly a drillich fatigue tunic (skirt pockets only)

          What I need are EM's not NCO's and four pocket not two pocket or m37 drill. I believe that the SS used this but can find very little documented evidence. I have seen tunics for sale, but cannot find clear wartime images of regular SS men. It seems like all I find are NCO's or officers.
