Here is a new addition:
Luftwaffe Flak troop wearing Erdkampfabzeichen and Flakkampfabzeichen, including Ost and EK2 ribbons, as well as flak trades badge

[Bill T]

LW ground troops wearing Zeltbahns as ponchos for camo. Note the helmet straps for adding camo

One of my favorites......Hermann Goring troops training on MG's in the Netherlands (Utrecht) in January of 1943.
The reverse also says " 7. Pz. Jag - Kompanie H.G." and the men are named.

Erdkampfabzeichen, Ost-medaille, and HJ badge in wear. Nov 1942 Russia
most likely yellow waffenfarbe

* Luftwaffe Field Divisions adopted the "Green colored Tabs" in January 1943

[Bill T]

another favorite of mine..... HG troops wearing camo helmets and typical zelt-ponchos
*Note the lack of collar tabs on the fliegerbluse, which was often seen on LwFD uniforms

Some Luftwaffe troops in issued winter gear
*The one on bottom left wears heavy winter boots. Not sure what style. (they look even more bulky than heated pilot boots!)

Luftwaffe troops who were on sentry duty/etc were sometimes issued straw style over-boots for warmth
