Description

Wehrmacht Reversible Winter Parka (Wendejacke). The parka is reversible from green to white. 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 showing normal traces of usage and some staining (mainly on the white side), see photos. The parka is not visible marked. The parkas were designed large enough to fit over the standard service uniform and will fit a mannequin easily. On the back of the green side the parka shows the painted on 'PW' marking indicating that this parka has been worn in captivity by a Prisoner of War at the end of World War 2. Nice original example in good used and worn condition!

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