What was worn under a Waffen SS Uniform? I heard somewhere that it was some kind of a silk shirt but I don't know if that's true. Were there suspenders? Or did the uniform have built-in suspenders? Would undergarments change from season to season?
I'm writing a novel and would like to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!

Re: What was worn under SS uniform?
Better a cotton shirt, in white colour with a collarless design, pants suspenders/braces are used too.I heard somewhere that it was some kind of a silk shirt
A wollen pullover was part of the equipment.
I recently saw a picture of SS-Reichsführer Himmler, wearing a sweater * under his open-necked tunic.
* A non regulatory sweater.
An old thread about SS underpants may be of interest to you : viewtopic.php?f=8&t=193854&hilit
At least you can laugh...
