Germany, Wehrmacht. A Field-Made Hybrid Pattern Camouflage Smock

(Wehrmacht Wendetarnhemd). An interesting Wehrmacht (Heer and Luftwaffe Field Divisions) camouflage smock, constructed of multiple panels of cotton/rayon blended cloth. The torso is dyed in a classic Splittertarnmuster (splinter pattern) scheme consisting of a beige base overlaid by irregular geometric shapes executed in dark green and dark brown, with dark green splinters throughout. Notably, the arms are dyed in a Sumpftarnmuster (swamp pattern) scene, with a mottle consisting of a light brown base overlaid by irregular splotches of dark brown and dark green, similarly overlaid by dark green splinters. The front features a vertical slash descending from the collar, flanked on each side by reinforced eyelets for drawstring closure. The waistband has an integral belt which emanates from two eyelets set into the front. Each cuff fastens closed with a strap and button. Two side slashes allow the wearer to access the pockets of an underlying uniform. Unmarked, the smock measures 56 cm across the shoulders, with an arm length of 65 cm, and an overall length of 80 cm (when folded on a flat surface. Demonstrating no notable damage or wear, this unusual smock, improvised from two patterns of Wehrmacht camouflage, remains in an extremely fine condition.
