So I brought the Luftwaffe Officer 4 Pocket Tunic from Epic ages ago and now looking to find a use for it
I'm thinking along the lines of unpicking the collar tabs and wings but stuck on what insignias/shoulder boards to get to replace them.
Impression I'm going for is a Lufty Ground forces officer at the rank of captain (Don't know what that is in german). Idea is to use it for socials and open day skirmishes
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
JD
Hauptmann is the rank you are looking for, these are the corresponding insignia
Ok so I've taken the insignas of the tunic. Now I might be doing Oberleutnant instead of Hauptmann, I'm not sure yet
Now I'm looking for some bling to put on it, am looking at the Luftwaffe Airgunner/Engineer award. Would that be suitable for those ranks?
What awards would of been awarded to these ranks?
Thanks
JD
something like this -
This guy seems to have been awarded the Front Flying clasp, Pilot's Qualification award, Spanish Cross and Iron Cross...



Hmm... to bling it up like that would cost more than the tunic itself. I personally wouldn't throw good money after bad, unless you're going to wear it as a drinking uniform. Certainly, I cannot foresee a WW2 airsoft event where you'd be able to wear it.















You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
just to point out, Luftwaffe Ground Troops wore a green background, Yellow was for flying branch (Aircrew, Fallschirms etc)

Yes I am aware of that
Yeh the intention is to use it as a drinking uniform (possible on skirmish days when the moment right
)
Only really want 2 or 3 awards, not too much. Just I have it and I'd rather use it for something
Thanks for the replies ![]()

Now... as a drinking uniform, frankly, nobody does them better than the Luftwaffe!
