What did a German Airman wear in WW2?

[@tessaleroux7725]

They had the most dashing uniforms on the planet, and the breeches and jack boots. Wow

This channel is critically underrated and definitely needs more sub's.

[@Crusaderbois]

Yes

[@mrwheeljack7274]

Even as a German I haven‘t had such a good overview yet. Thx bud, great video 👍👌

[@JugheadJones03]

Very informative and entertaining. Thanks for posting.

[@SARGE11963]

I notice you referenced their headgear as "covers". And yor you tube name "Shellback". Both Navy/Marine terminology. Connection? Great vid btw!👍👍

[@WarBondz]

Thank you so much for the comment and support! Great connection, my original love for history started out in the Navy realm so to speak so that's definitely a large factor in my terminology usage!

Hi great video pal! Do you know wich uniform was preferred by Ju-87 crews?

[@bepis3966]

Those Luftwaffe men in the photo at 5:30 are most likely pilots and gunners of Ju-87 dive bombers, judging by them standing next to one, and they seem to be wearing the summer flying suit as seen at 3:31. They also seem to have their belts on top of the flight suits so they have access to their compact pistols, which might have been a Walther PPK, a Mauser HSc, or a Sauer 38H. They would have had yellow collar tabs and branch piping. I checked the German war film 'Stukas' from 1941 to verify and they too wore the same light-colored suits over the greyish blue flight blouses, they also wore the flight helmets when in the air and most likely had the visorless field cap tucked into a pocket as they quickly changed to wearing them when out of the aircraft. I also checked the 1943 film 'The Crew of the Dora' which was about a crew of a Ju 88 twin-engine bomber and they wore pretty much the same stuff except they had life jackets on top of the flight suit.

Doing research for a stuka scale model and man the colors in the instruction are so wrong

Hey, I have a question: Do members of the Luftwaffe wear their Flight/Service Blouses under their overcoats, or do they take them off if wearing an overcoat?

[@ZOV24-2-22]

@Electric Tree Yes they kept the blouse on

[@Filipino_boy-tk7jo]

The guy in the middle looks like a little bit like Putin 5:31

[@Arandomgmodanimator.-xf6bk]

Maybe that WAS him in different life. Kinda like cats, they have 9 lives, I know it's a myth, but I like to believe that sometimes.
