I've read that German officers had a specific jacket for summer, a white feldbluse, but did soldier wear it too (privately packaged?)

Re: White jacket for summer
Enlisted Army personnel did not wear the white uniform, only officers. The closest might be the cream colored Drill tunic, but that's a different type uniform. There might be unique, special duty exceptions (like white "Mess Jackets" , but they too fall outside the normal.
Officers had to private-purchase their white tunics so many never owned one... plus they were seldom worn once the war started.
