Jacket of German POW in England with letter

[kradman]

Picked up this Jacket of a German POW in England with letter he sent home , looks like he was at camp N079 which was Moorby Camp, Ravensby in Lincolnshire

[MAP]

Very cool find. Wonder what type of jacket this?

[kradman]

I think it started life as a m36 tunic but tailored in his time as a POW

[Fred Green]

Hello,

An M36 heavily modified with replacement of collar and pockets, shortened, and buttons replaced. Nicely marked though! Munchen 1937!

Salty, real, wow... quite a piece of history.

Anyway to get the letter translated?

[SteveR]

Unusual.

[Neil Hever]

Hard to read the letter but it seems to open with a birthday greeting to a loved one. Indeed, a unique and interesting find. NH
