W-SS/ Todt/Luft smocks.

[chrischa]

Hello.

Are there any fundamental differences between the W-SS camouflage smocks and those worn by the Hermann Goerring Division or Organisation Todt personnel?

I do not have a specific item I would like information on merely wondering if one spent £6k on a smock would we know it was worn by an SS man.

Regards,
Chris.

Herman Goering Division used SS smocks, = exact same thing...no difference!
There is no such thing as HG Division pattern SS smock...
but theoretically these could have been "non-SS unit" stamped I guess...

OT never used SS smocks as far as I know , at least not wide spread in a unit level
(show me examples!)
but the OT security forces did draw equipment from other branches...
Photos do exist of Transport Korps Speer using SS smocks, even attaching their TKS
shoulder straps on these SS smocks!!

Sorry, thinking Speer wrote Todt!
