    (WW2) Were fieldbluses made with splinter camo like this?

    So i have this doubt, were fieldbluses and trousers with the splinter camo issued to regular german soldiers or just for Zelthbans and the Fallschirmjäger?

    Fallschirmjäger wearing an M35/M40 helmet?

    The photo was taken in italy from what i know, date is around 1943. Since i'm building a FJ impression and i love the look of having a different helmet i wanted to ask: was this actually something that happened or is it an unique thing? If not, do any of you have photos of such thing in other fronts too? Thanks for the help

    Question about late war German machine gunner.

    So after various views on the sub I decided to settle on buying uniforms and equipment from on the front, I’m going for a late war German machine gunner so I believe the m43 uniform would be accurate to use? I guess my question is did they have a special uniform or was it basic heer tunic and trousers. Thank you all :)

    The only good photo I have of me

    5th Bn Coldstream Guards, 32nd Guards Infantry Brigade, Guards Armoured Division circa Sept/Oct 1944. Photo was taken at the Lauer Farms 1944 event this past October.

    It was only my third event ever and I'm still missing a few things but the photographer was really impressed with my kit. My helmet net fell apart when I was at Rockford and I hadn't replaced it in time for this event, I should have definitely been wearing one for the period.

    M26 Adrian.

    Thinking of getting an original m26 and making it a Luftshuzt helmet for my Volkssturm impression. I know a few units on the rhine were issued them and my great uncle was aswell during his battle (and death) around Munich.
