Hello,

I'm looking for Photos of the Underwear from the Wehrmacht and SS, also of the Pullover (i think its called 'Schlupfjacke' or 'Schlupfweste', with a V cut/neck).

And why have the Ankle Boots no rubber sole?

Look in the German version of Schlicht/Angolia from Motorbuch Verlag. All items are illustrated there.

I would also add the Stezelberger website, too, as he seems to find a lot of Waesche, aso; Shea has some, as well. However, Stezelberger has been especially adept at this kind of material, to his credit. He has had items of wear I have never seen in 40 years of collecting, viz: Luftwaffe blau melierte Diensthemden, which are quite similar in textiles to a blue Oxford cloth shirt, (i.e. Brooks Brothers...) but cut very differently. And others know which the re-enactor websites have the must accurate items of wear, to include the under garments. I am astonished at the lengths some will go, and the expense they incur, for said items.

WARNING TO ALL,
I came back from Germany a few years ago, with nice footwear pieces, jackboots and all, even SS canvas work out shoes, I left the pieces alone for almost two months, and to my horror - they were mildewed to death, and i do mean that stuff got right into the leather KILLED the piece. Humidity and darkness got the best of them to my shame. So handle with care.
