Luftwaffe Grey-White Quilted Winter Parka
Luftwaffe reversible grey/white Quilted Winter Parka (Wendetarnparka). These parkas were issued to late war Luftwaffe ground troops. 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 reversible from blue/grey to white. The parka is made of different shades of blue/grey and white material, it is complete with all late war blue coloured buttons and white painted buttons on the white side, some of the bakelite type buttons are marked with 'LW'. 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. Nice and scarce original late war winter parka in very good condition!
