GERMAN PARATROOPER JUMP SMOCK - WWII



This is a German Paratrooper jump smock. Of camouflaged heavy cotton construction. The smock was designed to be worn over the combat uniform.  Two large pockets were located above the thighs.  A center piece goes over the crotch area and snaps into place.  The camp pattern is of the raindrop style.



The smock is stamped with black ink, on the inside, with the date and other manufacturing codes.



The smock has a built-in pocket designed to carry a side arm.  A combination of blue buttons and snaps are utilized to secure pockets shut and adjust the fit of the smock.




This is the built-in German Paratrooper holster. Highly integrated because it is all sewn into the uniform.


A snap is provided to allow the paratrooper to adjust the waist of the smock.


The German paratrooper smock sleeve is composed of two parts. The outer layer is secured via snaps. The inner layer is secure via elastic band.



Here is a closer view of the snap used to close the sleeve.


A pull string allows the user to further adjust the waist section.


A zipper secures the pockets shut. A very important feature when parachuting.
