Hey guys, I have some Germans stuff, FJ, but I was thinking about doing a Field Division impression. This is what I have, how much can be carried over:

Fliegerbluse with FJ tabs and shoulder boards
FJ Jump trousers w/ suspenders
Luftwaffe overseas Cap
Blue undershirt
Luftwaffe soldbuch
Jump smock
bread bag
belt

Hessen has the SS pattern HG smock, is that correct?

Thanks

PS. Klaus, is there a way to access the Field Div page on the 272nd website?

In 1943 the Luftwaffe Feld Divisions were transferred over to the Heer. By the time of the Normandy invasion it was common for these men to be partially outfitted in the remnants of their luftwaffe gear and Heer items. Is your impression early FD(L) or late?

No I can't get you the website, but I can direct you to the guy that wrote all the content. I will send you a PM tonight.

You should drop the jump smock and get a luftwaffe splinter smock instead. It would look good if you got Heer pants, and other Heer items to mix with the LW tunic. Or a Heer M43 tunic mixed with the luftwaffe items would look really good too.
