Guess the picture quiz!

[Bill T]

Great idea, glad I found this thread!

Im stumped on the pic tho.....I cant find anything very rare....

Its gotta be whatever the guy on the left has coiled around his tunic and is messing with. The gun just looks like a normal MPi 40......

It is the guy on the left and it is something about his tunic, but it's not coiled around it but is built in to it.

I at first thought they were buttons? But could it be he is wearing a parade lanyard of some form that is sewn onto the tunic and if I am correct on this it,s been sewn onto the wrong side.

They are buttons, but it's not a parade tunic. Oh and by the way, it's not Kreta, but Italy, though a very famous place in Fallschirmjager history.

The delivrance of the Duce?

Gran Sasso, hence my Italian joke

[Grimebox]

It's very rare Fallschirmjager tropical tunic with built in bandoleer (unfortunately the only info I can find is on the 'maroon' forum!)

[stuka f]

Never seen one !

From what I can find there appears to be some debate on whether the tunic is unique to Fallschirmjager, whether it is a modification, whether it was used in North Africa, etc, etc. One of those pieces that asks more questions than gives answers!

As long as Bond has no objections and my answer is correct I will post the next offering
