White uniform of the Wehrmacht and Nazis. Any body knows the background behind this classy 'clean' uniform?

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Information
The NSDAP, SS, and all three branches of the Wehrmacht all had their own white summer tunics.
The Heer in fact had two: the alterer Art Reichswehr style, with stand collar and six buttons, which Topp is wearing in the photo, and the newer model with laydown collar, eight buttons and French cuffs as worn by his friends. At some point (1943?), wearing the collar unbuttoned with a tie was permitted.
The Luftwaffe jacket was identical in cut to the Tuchrock, four-button with roll collar and lapels. The Kriegsmarine jacket was very similar.
The SS (briefly) authorised the white summer jacket pictured on Himmler and buddies; this was cut the same as the black service tunic, with SS angled slash lower pockets and single shoulderboard.
Party officials had both single- and double-breasted white uniforms; they could be worn with either white or black trousers.

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Information
And here is nice picture of Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel wearing white tunic. Is it common that the Adler is made from steel?

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Information
Great photo of Keitel; never seen that one before!
Anyway; the national eagle for the Heer's white tunic was a metal pinback badge secured to the uniform with its needle through thread loops; thus, it could be easily removed when the uniform had to be cleaned or laundered.
Angolia and Schlicht state that the badge was initially made from Neusilber (nickel silver, a copper/nickel/zinc alloy) and from late 1935 onward from light metal.
Sometimes, hand-embroidered eagles were also worn, like in this photograph of Wilm Hosenfeld:

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Information
Hello.
Was there specific dates the white tunic was allowed to be worn?

Re: White Uniform Of The Third Reich. Pictures And Information
Generally spoken, the whites were summer uniforms.CHRISCHA wrote:Was there specific dates the white tunic was allowed to be worn?
Of course the various military service branches, civilian authorities and political organisations that used such white uniforms all had their own different regulations when and where they could be worn.
Some examples:
The white tunics of the Heer could be worn by between 1 April and 30 September for walking out, with the "small" mess dress on certain occasions and for sporting events, tournaments and races.
The white tunics of the Luftwaffe were also worn between 1 April and 30 September as a summer uniform but were also permitted to be worn outside of this period for office duty and within closed military installations, but only with grey-blue trousers and without collar patches.
The white tunics of the Kriegsmarine were worn in hot climates as part of tropical service dress.
And then you had the white uniforms for the SS, SA, Police, Reichsbahn, Diplomatic Service, NSDAP, BDM, RAD...
