Just out of interest, why does it look like you're wearing a pair of overalls with the legs cut off at the knee? Is that what they were like?

There were different tyes of knochensacke. My one is a type 2. the type 3 was more like a long coat which could be wrapped around the legs and fastened. All 3 types were used throughout the war. its an iconic look and even at the end part of the war fallschrimjagers wore the knochensacke as it set them apart from other troops.

Those fecking zip-up shoulder pockets. They rip your hand apart every time you want to get something out.

If you think that's bad, try using the pee-port on a type 2 smock when you are in a hurry. That is the true meaning of fear!!!


“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Lol, why do you think I have a type 3?! :rofl: Jump smock shoulder pockets do have nasty zipsbut are great for stick grenades; mainly because you don't actually have to put your hand in them to get the grenade out. :lol:
