Want to outfit mannequin - starting with a field modified M36 Oberfeldwebel tunic - Help!
Hi everyone.
The tunic was was modified during war time to look like an officers tunic; pointed collar, private purchase shoulder boards, officer quality eagle, french cuffs, (as was the practice on many senior NCO tunics).
I know that an Oberfeldwebel was a platoon leader, and was told this particular soldier was at the Eastern Front. Can we surmise here that this Oberfeldwebel fought in battle, leading a platoon? If so, is it possible this tunic was worn in battle, or is it the informed opinion of you all that this tunic was only used as walking out dress?
I would like to outfit the mannequin with the correct accessories......battle gear, or not.
Any observations or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow - what a help that is, Tom! Thank you! The Ostfront mention came from dealer who I got the tunic from, thats all I have to go on. If you don't mind, what did the Ostfront medal look like? (If I haven;t imposed upon you enough already?!)

And do you think this tunic would have been accessorized with field/battle gear? Or is it difficult to say with certainty?
