Waffen-SS Reversible Oakleaf Camouflage Winter Parka (Tarnjacke). This camouflage pattern was designated 'Eichenlaubmuster A' (Oakleaf 'A'). The winter parka's were a standard issue item and were distributed to all EM/NCO’s for the winter season, (15 September to 15 April), with other winter garments and were to be returned to the units clothing depot in April for storage, repair and cleaning to be reissued the following September. The parka is in heavy combat worn condition showing heavy damage and repaires, it's missing the hood, see photos. The parka is not visible maker marked or dated. The parkas were designed large enough to fit over the standard service uniform and will fit a mannequin easily. Great piece for an Eastern Front display!

This parka originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum and was in display in the diorama in the last picture!
