Nazi Germany didn't expect the front line to drag on for so long, so it continued to win in the summer. When the battlefield went deeper into Russia and winter came again, many German soldiers still wore summer clothes. So it's not that we don't keep out the cold, but that the equipment is not fully prepared.

German field uniforms in the eastern battlefield are mainly M40, M4 1, M42 and M43. These four kinds of field clothes are all evolved from M36 field clothes, and their shapes are roughly similar. The main difference is the wool content of clothing materials and the material of buttons, which involves the details of production costs. The color of the uniform is vilen gray. In the last issue, the M44 field suit equipped with troops was very different from the previous style, and a short jacket version with tightened hem was adopted. Wearing it in actual combat can reduce the obstacles of military uniforms to the implementation of tactical actions, and the short style of military uniforms also saves cloth.

Germans distinguish the functions of military uniforms and fittings, just as they are obsessed with mechanical manufacturing. For example, the equipment of shoes and boots, such as air force, navy, mountain troops, artillery, tank soldiers, assault guns, etc., are mostly light booties. Army officers and men are uniformly distributed with leather or artificial leather boots, and officers can customize riding boots. Due to different sources, the versions are different.

Leather heavy Y-belt is an important improvement in the field of German individual equipment. When used in conjunction with the belt, the Y-belt can effectively disperse the weight of load-bearing equipment with shoulders and waist, thus improving the load-bearing and comfort of soldiers when marching. Y-band is divided into M40 and M42.

Compared with the complex evolution of jackets, German field pants have less improvement and change in the production process, which can be divided into M37 and M43. In the early days of the Soviet-German War, soldiers wearing M37 pants needed to wear boots. When distributing M43 field pants, considering that leather heavy Y-belt has been distributed to the front line in large quantities, it can be equipped with both internal Y-belt and ordinary belt. In the later period of the war, the enthusiasm of frontline officers and soldiers for short-term field boots is common to these two combinations.
