HI Tim
The official uniform included a Luftwaffe blouse. The cover illustration of the Osprey Man At Arms Fallschirmjager book shows it.
I looked through my two para books, and a lot of Fallschirmjager wore a scarf, and that's true across all campaigns. Later war
pics, and those in Italy appear to show a lot of guys without a field blouse underneath the smock.
I don't have scans to send you, but it appears like all combat units, a mix of uniforms works. Some guys had scarves filling the
collar area, others appear to have nothing under the smock, others clearly have the field blouse, and with some it appears a
collared shirt is under the smock. I'm not a huge fan of Osprey books, but the German Airborne Troops volume is a good one. I bet
you can find it on Half.com or somewhere like that cheap.
Cheers
Andy
