Very nice combat tunic, Wehrmacht Heer, Pionier- Lieutenant. The tunic is actually DAK tunic, or at least made from lightweight DAK cloth, for combat in south of USSR. This tunic has a steel KRIM shield attached to sleeve by threads and seems the owner has been in combat in the Taman and Krim peninsulas. Same DAK cloth tunics were widely used also in Kuban and Kaukasus area, due warm weather conditions there. The problem is just a strongly moth damaged collar, in other it’s a nice jacket, but in small size.
