Naxos Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Flieger Bluse with Heer insignia. Karl Ott a Luftwaffe Oberwerkmeister (aircraft mechanic in the rank of an Oberfeldwebel) writes that in April 1945 he and other LW ground personnel were transferred to the Luftwaffenfeldausbildungs-Division 154 under the command of Heeresgruppe Mitte (GFM Sch?rner). They were transferred to Naumburg for infantry training. Ott describes that they took off their yellow Kragenspiegel and replaced them with Grenadier Litzen. As well as the eagles on hats and tunics.The entire article is published in German in: J?gerblatt Nr: 3/2003sorry for the poor imageHardy Edited January 16, 2008 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What an extraordinary photo! Funny to think that if someone chanced upon a fliegerbluse with Heer insignia, they'd assume it was due to the feverish imagination or ignorance of some wardrobe assistant in a 1950s movie costumiers.

ostprussenmann_new Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Towards the end of the war (approx.-1945) , Germany turned everyone into infantry, so this makes sense, but still rare to actually see a photo of it. The SS even started conscripting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
