Germany, Luftwaffe. A Sports Shirt
(Luftwaffe Sporthemd). A well-preserved Luftwaffe sports shirt, constructed of white cotton. The shirt is sleeveless and features dual shoulder straps. Stitched onto the chest is an insignia consisting of a white cotton backer bearing a machine-embroidered black Luftwaffe eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 28 cm (w) x 14 cm (h) overall. The collar retains white rayon label bearing a machine-embroidered red size mark of “42”. The shirt measures 38.5 cm (w) x 61 cm (l) when folded on a flat surface. Minor soiling consistent with period usage is evident, but the shirt remains in a near extremely fine condition.
