Guten Abend Kameraden!
I was browsing about the web t'other day and found an odd picture on an Inf. unit's site: their commander, a Major, was dressed in standard boots and breeches, and what appeared to be a leather bomber-style jacket, with shoulder boards. Could anyone shed any light on this, as my curosity has been considerably piqued by the photo. This was not a period photo, however, but rather recent.
Regards,
Wilhelm Kruger

Re: Leather Jackets
Nobody knows about these? Maybe it was just an hallucination?!?!?!?

Maybe he used to be on flight status, but got grounded and transferred to the Heer?

Re: Leather Jackets
Could've been. Never thought of that. Matter of fact, didn't even know that was done!
Thanks for your help,
