Our German M43 Field Grey Wool Tunic is a must-have for any German Soldier portrayal. Benefitting from an 80% wool material, the jacket looks and feels authentic, giving that feeling every portrayal must have. The tunic has a generic 6-buttoned front, which is plastic capped and textured to make the tunic easy to remove in all conditions. It also has 4 front pockets – perfect for pocket litter, the bible or a picture of a special someone from back home. These tunics also come with white pipped shoulder boards that can easily be replaced.

The M43 Tunic itself was first seen in mid-1943, and by the following year, they were the most commonly worn uniform by German troops. Their introduction was largely due to the need to simplify their uniform design, as time and material became expensive resources. This is seen through certain details, such as pleats no longer being added to the pockets.

Field Grey (Feldgrau) was the standard uniform colour of the German Army during World War II — a greenish-grey shade chosen for its practicality in a range of environments. It offered effective camouflage in European terrain and became one of the most recognisable colours of the German Wehrmacht throughout the war.

A must-have for anyone looking for a precise portrayal of a WW2 German Soldier – providing excellent quality and value for money.
