Bayern Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hello ,the coats looks as French officers tunics of a type introduced in late 1914 . perhaps captured and re dyed . another option is the French (for sir John French ) tunic of the Tsarist Army. also captured items .

There is something wonderful everywhere in Germany. We've all gotta love the unique variations by anyone willing to veer off the usual path. Anything to keep us guessing, scratching our heads, and gathering to throw in our ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I didn't know the Germans were using captured uniforms in the Great War, though it makes sense, I suppose, especially at the end. Thanks, Chris, for broadening my somewhat parochial horizons. I hope you and yours are, apart from the math problems, doing well in these trying times. Peace.
