WH (Heer) M36 Tuchmantel (M40 WH greatcoat)

The Greatcoat belonged to the standard equipment of every soldier. The greatcoat could be worn in cold weather or rain and all other conceivable situations. This was originally a Dutch pre-war, so-called 'Grove Stof', combat greatcoat.The greatcoat is nicely marked and dated with 'CM 1940'. The greatcoat has been reissued in the German Army and has been modified to a Wehrmacht style M36 Greatcoat, having a dark green collar, it has two rows of five front closure buttons and the greatcoat also has a single (slightly rusted) metal hook and eye at the neckline. It looks like a pair of shoulder-boards of the sew-in type have been removed.
