Stumbled across this site on Schutztruppen uniforms:


http://www.deutsche-schutzgebiete.de/uniformen_der_schutztruppen.html


A big site with some apparently genuine colour photos.

I don't want to rub into any wounds but note the waffenrocks with breast pockets.

But, not so fast! They're described as Litewka!


With one bound, he was free!


 


By the way, just remembered that somewhere on the Net are instructions for converting Airfix/HaT Japanese into Schutztruppen. With pockets . . .

The very one, Phillipo. It's a nice idea. The inaccuracy of the puttees on the Airfix Japanese is to our advantage.They can also be turned into troops for the western Front.
