Correct way to wear Marschtiefel with Panzer trousers (and StuG trousers too!)
Put your troos on.
Pull the legs up as far as you can get them.
Put your bootees on.
Poll the trouser bottoms over the boottees.
Drop your trousers. (YEAH! just make sure helga ain't around!)
Sit on a chair or suitable lump.
Fish about until you find the bottom of the trousers and the tapes.
Pull them "inside" so that you can see them and then tie the tapes around the boots about 2" above the ankle.
Pull up your trousers and fasten
Find a mirror and admire the wonderfully bloused trousers.
remember to thank PD in a prayer before you go to bed at night!

You airsoft boys, not being constrained by the 1940s timewarp we "allegedly stick to!" Can use a twister or just a heavy duty laggy band around the boots. But this is the prescribed manner of wearing panzer trousers with jacks.

Also.....
Tank crews cut their jacks down!!!!!! They had short jacks which they cut down from standard diceshakers (Knobbelbecher or dice beakers) This was in case they needed to kick them off quickly - fire, shrapnel in the boot etc. If you're trying to visualise - think antique rigger boot.
These boots were unofficial but widespread amongst tank crews.

what ya mean make sure I ain't around , several of them have already seen my fetching long johns, and I've already seen CW's cowies then again so have other, wait for the comments now they've been reminded

helga aka 'dink' looked very fetching in her CR swamp getup - mind u her clothing was 110% better than the washed out allies

She was drier than 99% of those combatants

See my mission to confuddle with screen names is working huh

Cheers for that i have some twisters left from my cadet days,im not cutting my boots down incase i want to do a heer loadout.

Get a cheap pair of fireman's boots...... Leather is pebbled but if you feel stitch nazi you can get them out with a hot spoon (remember THAT from your cadet days????)

I only added in that they cut their boots down because sometimes in orig photos you see these stubby little boots...

They pulled the studs out of their boots too to prevent them slipping around on the metal decking and interiors

Thank you very much PD, in the photos this looked like what they had done, but its nice to hear it from a modern source.

ill make up some elastic twisters tonight

thanks again PD
