Grouping to a Kreta veteran available on the market for the first time. Our consignor was a close friend to the veteran for decades.

Luftwaffe paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) jumping smock. A so-called "Knochensack". Smock were made with green cloth as well as cloth showing a camo print. Tan & water camo, as well as splinter camo patterns, were issued. This example comes with a tan & water camo pattern printed to the cloth. A rather late war issued example. This would have not been the smock he jumped over Kreta.
