In my opinion the tunic is re-built or made from material from another type
of tunic. I will go through my material to see if a type like this was ever told
about in my RAD-material. I remember having seen, but do not know where.
It is anyway a waist-jacket and with this surely no brocade and/or dagger
were worn!
The abbreviation "
MSA Sch Ho" reminds me to
Motor-SA Schule Hochland
or something like that, but then it must be made from a tunic from about
1934 or so, as before
September 17, 1934 they existed, but then were
renamed into
Motorsportschulen des NSKK.
The abbreviation "Fü" may stand for
Reichsarbeitsdienst-Bekleidungsamt Fürth,
where it was stocked? It says also June 1939 (6 39). The re-building may have taken
place during the war.
The jacket reminds for the
Feldbluse 44 as introduced for the Armed Forces,
but also was in use by the DRK and RAD, then known as
Helferinnen-Tuchbluse 44.
The shown jacket has a males closure however. Cannot find an indication it was
worn by RAD males also, but we do not know all, isn't!
Army-type:
The shown jacket has arms like the army-type.
RAD-type for females:
I have not ever seen a waist jacket as this, being actually worn. Nor by a male,
neither by a female. Anyway not within the RAD-organisation.
Later in the war the brown material used for the collar, was no longer used and
the collar was from the same material as the rest of the tunic or whatever.
By the way: why isn't this thread/post not in the proper thread "non-combat"?
Maybe a moderator can put it where it belongs!
