Questions about the Usage of Reichswehr Uniforms in WWII
Hello there!
I'm trying to study about various foreign legions in the German military during WWII especially the Eastern Volunteers. Is there any chance that these volunteers utilized the old Reichswehr era uniforms?
Also, can anyone explain to me about the types in Reichswehr uniforms? I'm still pretty blind there.
Hello,
From what I have seen Reichswehr uniforms were converted and used by German troops. Foreign volunteers utilized standard Heer uniforms, confiscated foreign uniforms, waffenrocks and other uniforms.

Do you have any pictures on converted Reichswehr uniforms? And do you know what countries' foreign uniforms that were confiscated by the Germans to be used by them outside of Czech, Austrian and Dutch uniforms?
I've read that Danish M/23 uniforms were used as well (post 1943).
After the Danish army was detained by the Germans in 1943, the German army took possession of the stores - and made use of everything from bicycles, motorcycles, lorries, uniforms and to a certain extent Danish small arms.
Rumours has it, that the Danish uniforms were handed over to Ukrainian volunteers.
