More on German uniforms, Normandy July 5 2012 at 10:25 AM		(Login J.Clifford) Missing-Lynx members from IP address 192.231.71.2

A few months back I reported on an unusual uniform combination that I read about in the book, Normandiefront, by Vince Milano and Bruce Conner. I got a copy of the book which has quite a large number of photos to go with the text and found something else that I thought was interesting. On page 44 there is a photo of two soldiers, one wearing a regular German army uniform, while the other is in a black uniform that is out of the ordinary. the caption says, "The Pionier on the left wears a British battle dress and trousers dyed black for use by mechanics and others who would deal with machinery."
