Leather Luftwaffe jackets in Waffen SS use

[Persoons_Karst]

Okay,
We all seen the Kriegsmarine jackets (panzer style, regular blacks and regular greys) in use within the Waffen-SS panzer divisions.
But are there any recordings/pictures of the leather flightjackets (any style) in Waffen SS use, as within panzer or by officer or by regular troop? The only pic i can find is the all known Heydrich with a leather flightjacket.

In the famous fotage from the battle of the bulge, an SS offc. gjves the fire-order to his 8,8 crew, you can see him wearing a flight jacket with fur collar.

I can share LW gear in Heer Panzer units....If it happened in Heer it happened in the WSS too!
Leather flight jackets, cotton flight jackets, channel pants etc...just like KM leather in W-SS...

Nice pictures, and you are right. If the Heer did it, then the SS certainly did it

There are such photos - for example you may check Remy Spezzano's Kampfgruppe Mühlenkamp - there is at least one photo of Wiking panzer officer in Luftwaffe jacket.

Also just search for 'Otto Weidinger Wien' images - there are some photos of Otto Weidinger in Kradmantel and Heinz Werner in Luftwaffe jacket (Kmdr. III./4. SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment Der Führer). What's interesting Werner in one of the photos is wearing Fallschirmjager helmet.

There are many photos of the "luftwaffe leather jackets" (actually french private civilian made ones) in use with panzer officers of Wiking- why Wiking had so many, I don't know. But, they appear very frequently in photos of Wiking guys.
