WH Stug Wrap in Gaberdine material, Hauptmann
Category:
This is a very nice example of a highly desirable and privately purchased Heer Sturmartillerie (Assault Artillery) Officers "Panzer Wrap" tunic, in Gaberdine material.
These particular "StuG wrapper" uniforms were worn by troops who manned and operated the self-propelled Sturmgeschütze (assault gun or StuG) anti-tank / infantry support guns.
The design of the panzer wrap over tunic was deemed as suitable for StuG crews but as they could be outside of the vehicle more or exposed than Panzer crews it was decided that the field grey color would be better suited. As the field grey color uniform was also the same color as the infantry uniform they blended in better when mixed in with the infantry.
All insignia is originally applied ( Hauptmann )
The Sturmartillerie were officially part of the Artillerie branch and therefore wore wrappers with red Waffenfarbe.
The picture that photographed in the last picture came with the jacked, it was in the pocket of the wrap together with a 5 Reichsmarke bill.
A great example of an original Private Purchase stug wrap in great condition!
