Waffen-SS Dachau made (SS-BW) Mantel for HJ

[tylermclaren]

Here is an interesting and eerie piece of militaria. An extremely small sized (roughly 32" chest) "SS-BW" marked Mantel. Classic later war Dachau construction with what appears to be a wartime applied sleeve eagle. I'm assuming this was intended for a 14-15 year old HJ member, called to duty in '45. Youth served in all branches, and most divisions of the SS, but this extremely small size has me wondering if this was to be issued to a boy of the 38th SS "Nibelungen".

Please let me know opinions and/or concerns with this piece.

Looks good. Wow smallest size I have seen. Yes probably for a teenager.

You are overthinking this.
Its just normal it cut garments in sizes from XXS to XXXL.

Probably of the children that were drafted in the SS schools to be future commanders. And the Nibelungen division was more remnants of other divisions.

You are absolutely correct. I just checked the US Army size charts for their ACU. XS is 31-33 chest, that would be roughly what this mantel is.

It's still visually, a little disturbing to see combat clothing in this small of size. The form it's on is teenager size.

That's odd

The hair on the back of head stands on end when a hot girl is wearing a massive pair of grannies panties.
The horror

Guess we are all different

Just out of curiosity, where did you buy that size of a form?
