Soldier wearing a tropical uniform with tropical boots (looks like third type to me, Mark should confirm or invalidate this...).
Attachment 534660
Great thread, JP!
The boots are 2nd type - quite possibly cut down but also maybe still entire - we'll never know...

Re: Wehrmacht & Tropical
Hello Mark,
Thanks for the name....i didn't see if there was any pip on the shoulderboard, that's why i just wrote Junior Officer...
As for Panzer Officer, just a simple deduction because of the Panzer badge barely visible on the pocket....i didn't know that Signals Officers could be awarded a Panzerkampfabzeichen...
Thanks again
