Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Informati
three Luftwaffe photos found while surfing. One from the archives and the other posted on WAF some time ago, stated as source unknown. Rare shot of NCO wearing a private purchase tunic as well. Both first pattern (drooptail) and second pattern aluminum eagle shown.

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Informati
I have a white Luftwaffe tunic that belonged to Hauptmann Günter Fehlberg in the Flakkorps. It is the open collar design and the collar tabs are attached with four snaps and the shoulder board button is the screw-on type.
Does anyone know what years this type of summer uniform was made and/or when it was discontinued?
Additionally, below the owners name tag (which is typed and hand sewn), it says the following:
zd. R. 161
Does anyone know what this represents? I'm assuming it is a unit designation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

The White Tunic was authorized from the foundation of the Luftwaffe (1935) thru the end of the war, but few officers would have found time to wear "white" after 1943/44 I would think.... so the time period would be more indicitive by the rank insignia and style.... most are 1937 thru 1942 I'd guess.....
Can't help on the markings....(possibly "Reserve" officer & #).... doesn't read like any unit I know of (Flak related) but not my speciality....
