Historical Description: About 1.5 million men served in the German War Navy (Kriegsmarine) between 1939 and 1945. These men were equipped with a wide range of uniform garments for their often extremely challenging duties. There were standard service uniforms, dress uniforms, and a large variety of work clothing, from simple linen HBT garments worn by dock workers to leather jackets and trousers for duty on board seagoing vessels. Specialized coats and headgear were devised to keep sailors going in marine environments that were often cold and wet. There were tropical uniforms as well, for sailors serving in more southern latitudes. Many of these uniforms were adorned with insignia that indicated a sailor’s rank as well as his specialty or position. Officers typically procured their own uniforms, at their expense. Soldiers serving in Coastal Artillery units of the Kriegsmarine wore field gray uniforms, of wool or HBT, with distinctive Kriegsmarine insignia and buttons. Collectors today seek out and prize WWII German Kriegsmarine uniforms for their historic importance.
