And in conclusion, my 'Reichsverteidigung' fighter pilot.
Sergey, terrific job....
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Thank you, Chris.
What I don't understand is why there isn't the same level of enthusiasm for these jackets vs the "private-purchase" examples.
The Reichsverteidigung jackets were official LW issue, and were actually worn by fighter pilots during the LW's most difficult time.
Further, I have not seen any fakes of these, but the vast majority of the "private-purchase" jackets seem to be French motorcyclist jackets with insignia added postwar (and almost all of them lack provenance).
Just my .02 cents in defense of the Reichsverteidigung jacket.

In situ:
