I originally posted thisd in General Quarters, forgetting that this forum was here - DOH!
I'd like to ask for some help please - my GJ knowledge and library is nil.
I'm trying to build up a Tropical GJ section to fight alongside my FJ in Italy
Would the uniforms here (ignoring Tom Cruise's DAK boots) be OK for Italy c. 1943/4 as well as N. Africa?
My understanding is that if I'm using them for N. Africa they would have an 'Afrika Korps' cuff title, whereas if they were Italy (and ex DAK) they would wear an 'Afrika' title instead?
Can I also confirm that this is an officer's tunic:
If it is, same question - could I use it for both N. Africa and Italy? Also what headgear would he wear - peaked cap/crusher or feldmutze (was there an officer's version)?
Would all ranks have green waffenfarbe?
Thanks very much,
David.
