WWII Wehrmacht Rabbit-Lined Undershirt – Eastern Front Winter Gear

For sale is an authentic WWII Wehrmacht rabbit-lined undershirt, a rare piece of German cold-weather gear issued to soldiers on the Eastern Front. This suede/leather undershirt features a warm rabbit fur lining, designed to provide insulation beneath a field tunic or greatcoat during the brutal winters of 1941–1945, where temperatures often dropped below -40°C. The interior bears Wehrmacht markings, including “HYGIENE,” confirming its military issue, and the exterior sleeve is marked with the number “127,” adding a personal touch of provenance. The front closes with bone or wooden buttons, and the collar, cuffs, and hem are trimmed with fur for added warmth.

In fair to good condition for its age, the undershirt shows significant wartime wear, with stains, discoloration, and scuff marks on the exterior, and some matting of the rabbit fur lining. The wear reflects its use in harsh conditions, adding to its historical character. Perfect for collectors of Wehrmacht militaria, especially those interested in Eastern Front artifacts, or for display as a testament to the challenges faced by German soldiers during WWII’s brutal winters.
