Gebirgsjäger Anorak (Windbluse)
Mountain Troopers (Gebirgsjäger) Winter Camouflage Anorak (Windbluse der Gebirgstruppen). Due to their role in the potentially snowy mountainous regions Mountain troop personnel were issued a winter camouflage wind blouse as early as 1938. This is a tan-grey, reversible to white, cotton construction anorak. The pull-over anorak is featuring a V-neck with metal lace-up grommets and a tan cotton/rayon drawstring. The V-neck has an overlapping wind flap panel to each side, closed with three buttons. The anorak is having black bakelite buttons on the grey side and white and pressed paper buttons on the white side. The drawstring around the waist might have been replaced once. The anorak is showing normal traces of usage and some small damages and repairs. The anorak is nicely maker marked by the company of 'K.H. Barthel & Co.' from Zwittau and dated 1942, the anorak is size '4' marked. The anoraks were cut large enough to fit over the standard uniform. Nice original example in good used condition!
