Heer tropical tunic

[reichss]

Could I please know which is the correct shoulder strap for this tunic. The arm badge indicates he was an artillery gun layer.

This type of later war sud front tunic could have "normal" Heer em/nco artillery boards and would not need to have the tropical type.

Hello,
As already mentioned by Jerry, This tunic is not tropical but a lightweight M43 tunic made of what looks like italian "Olona" cloth.
You can use continental shoulderstraps, no problem at all...
If you've just bought it, i hope that you didn't buy it as a tropical tunic as prices for them are higher than for this kind of tunic...
Thanks
