Thanks for reply Adrian, is it specific only to the Luftwaffe Ground Troops or for Wehrmacht Heer to ?

[Adrian Stevenson]

There has always been a collector association of these to the Luftwaffe.

As Ade has said the Gesteppte Winteranzuege was primarily issued to the Luftwaffe Felddivison and Fallschirmjager or the vast majoroty were but they were were a general issue garment and as such could be issied to the Heer , they have been found with both Luftwaffe and Heer issue depot stamps,

The rayon indicates that this jacket was late war issue.

cheers
