Fabulous example, Colin!
Great to see such an item, as I have a penchant for the less ‘glamorous’ arms, who kept the whole thing going.
Like you, I find it extremely unlikely that the underarm reinforcement panels were for grenades. The coat is specifically intended for supply use and not a frontline garment.
The greatest threat to a column would probably come from the air, for which the odd MG might come in handy, though partisan ground attacks cannot be ruled out.
As outstanding as the U&T works are, the authors do occasionally misdescribe and misinterpret details and it’s best to re-examine the information given against original examples.
However, these panels are clearly designed to carry something, potentially, abrasive... Much scouring of period images required, methinks!

Wow! Great example of an uncommon Mantel. Congratulations Colin! Thanks for sharing and allowing members to see an example of this model.
FYI, Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Paulus was not a "von".

Hello,
A great example, the condition is just perfect.
You know what i think about this type of Mantel.
Thanks
