German Chaplain Questions

[Euro]

Hello fellow reenactors, I have a question for you guys.
(esp. if anyone does a German Catholic Chaplain impression)

What did you use/where did you find your cases that carried all of the mass supplies? As a catholic chaplain, they differed slightly from the protestant one, but I'm just curious where one can be found in general.

Also, winter gear, before I drop money into buying my winter gear, what would you guys suggest getting as very basic winder uniform supplies? I have one picture around here that I know the poor chaplains freezing his butt off and is wearing the white coverall so thats on the options list persay.

Search old posts here on the subject. I do remember quite a few years ago,m there was a chap here that did a bang up impression of a WH chaplain on the ostfront with even original WH issued sacraments making up part of the impression if I remember correctly.

Trying to find him and I think I have, though unsure if his impression is Catholic or protestant. Oh well, getting on messaging him anyway to see if it works out. :]

Normal Heer insignia for an officer. All chaplains are officers, but have no real authority other than over other religious personnel.
Piping is purple and there is a crucifix on the front of the visor cap.

I am sure this is an old thread. I am a German Reenactor Catholic Chaplain. There are some differences in the two types of Chaplains in the German military of WW 2. Evangelical and Catholic had different insignia. The Crosses they wore were also different. They wore no rank per say except the Officer Tunic. No Shoulder boards either. They had no authority , except that of a Pastor /Priest. Rank was equal to Oberst. There were on Chaplains in the Luftwaffe or the Waffen SS. Many of the Chaplains were older and possibly also in WW 1. I wear a EK 2 ribbon from WW 1 in my Tunic
I am also a Deacon in the Catholic Church, which helps with my Impression as a Chaplain.
