Frank M Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Paul -Here's some shots of some of my older Luftwaffe groupings. Some of the members here have seen a few of these before, but thought I would share them here now. Hope these are of some enjoyment to the membership.First one is of an Oberstleutnant of flight.

Frank M Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Here's a rare tunic. Luftwaffe Generalmajor tropical. The tropical knee high boots are of the Luftwaffe styling as well with the long leather strap that threads through the protective flap, and exits at the top of the boot to then become latched down at the top.

Paul R Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 That LW General is awesome! Is the tunic named?Best regardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank M Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Paul -No, the tropical Generalmajor tunic is not, unfortunately, named. There is not even a manufacturer's tag in the collar, nor size stampings, etc. in the lining. The only thing that dates this piece is that on the backs, of the buttons, there is some markings, and a year date of "42".I only have but one uniform grouping that is named to Oberstleutnant Walter Paul Liebing who was, early in the war, a reconaissance pilot, then, after his unit was disbanded, transferred to a Luftwaffe field division on the Eastern Front, and eventually ended up in a fallschirmjaeger unit. He earned the Knights Cross in February 1945.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
