Hello,

thank you in advance.

Hello,
maybe for the beginning this book could help you. In this book you can see most branches with their uniforms of the Third reich, including forestry service.

Davis/Turner. GERMAN UNIFORMS OF THE THIRD
REICH 1933-1945. London: Arms and Armour Press, 1997.

I don't recall off hand but another good bet would be to figure out what branch this area fell under and then research that particular area for details on it specifically. For example, if the Forstchutz fell under the German Police, look into resources on the German Police for additional details on the forest service specifically, etc.

Look for Bender's books on Luftwaffe uniforms and Brian Davis' book on the same subject -in both cases, I think the Forestry uniforms are covered in volume 2 of these books.

Maybe a little late to reply but there are good pictures of surviving uniforms on this commercial site: http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Political/04ASSORT4.html
