Shortage of WWII enlisted men tunic.
There seems to be a shortage of German and Italian enlisted men tunics. You will find all kinds of officer tunics but very, very few, enlisted men’s. Did they wear them home at the war’s end and just wear them out? I was told by my uncle, that served in Europe, that at the end of the war there were so many German’s surrendering they just took their helmets, and any arms they carried, and sent them home. As long as they were not SS. I can see that they would not have a lot to go back too, so they might have worn them as they had no other clothing to were, and wore them until they wore out.
Any other thoughts?
