General der Infanterie Erich Abraham - Tan Uniform?

[Claudio]

Dear forumites,

Here I'm posting a nice picture of a German General Abraham (very teutonic kind of family name) RKT with Oakleaves wearing also a beautiful General field visor cap "old style".

What kind of uniform is wearing or what colour do you thing it is? Is it a tropical (tan) tunic with closed collar? That's quite unusual.

Note also the Foreign ribbons on the bar after the DA eagles (Long Services). Could you guess which one these are? I can see one blue ribbon with a star shaped metal device (very likely for an Italian Silver bravery medal), a crossed swords ribbon (very likely Rumanian) and the last one the Rumanian commemorative medal for the Eastern front (Crusade against Bolshevism). I don't know which one could be, the fourth from the right.
 

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Cheers,

 

Claudio

The 4th ribbon from the right is the Deutsches Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen.

Thanks Nicolas, but I needed to know what colours are the four last ribbons and the uniform (tunic).

Cheers,

Hi Claudio,

Yes, the uniform looks like a tropical tan configuration.

More than a Tan coloured tunic ,I think in a Field grey one made of cotton cloth . this type was called Feldbluse M36 Drillich. it was lighter in colour and have the stand and fall collar of the wool tunic

From the first photo I would be hesitant to make a determination on the color of the jacket. It looks like he is facing some bright light, window or lamp, and it most likely washes out any darker areas. If the jacket doesn't have any specific indication of what type it is I would not make a judgment on it.
