Just to share this very early combi suit dated 1959 the hard beret dated 1963 ,inside the suit is a sewn in pistol holder and also the back of the suit has an access slit to which you could pull out the wearer from the tank in a hurry due to the inbuilt reinforced webbing around the shoulder area ,the ear phones although bundeswehr issue are from a later time period ,the soft beret has no date stamp but i guess would be from the same time period as the hard beret ,i also show some later headgear showing the headset and throat mikes in better detail ,
