Re: the first paratrooper garment
Wow! That's the first one I've ever seen in a collection. Is the cloth much thicker than the sniper/scout cloth? Do you have any information about years used?

Re: the first paratrooper garment
Thank you very much for posting close up pictures. Until now I thought the para forces used the same cloth and printing as the sniper/scout oversuit. The historical pictures were not clear enough. Now I know

Re: the first paratrooper garment
Has there ever been any research done into the provenance of this pattern/uniform cut? AFAIK it's quite possibly a DDR design that was handed over to the Yugos.
