Summary

Description
English: Photo taken on May 8th, 2019 at Lofoten War Memorial Museum ("Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum") in Svolvær, Norway. The museum exhibits uniforms, smaller items, etc. from World War II and the German occupation of Norway 1940–1945.:
  • Uniform of the army of Nazi Germany (Wehrmacht Heer), belonged to Hubert Lanz (1896 –1982), General der Gebirgstruppe
    • Officers' visor cap (Schirmmütze) with golden chin-cord (Mützenkodel), piping (Paspel), and cap insignia (Mützenabzeichen):
      • National eagle-and-swastika emblem (Hoheitszeichen, Hoheitsadler, Reichsadler, Wehrmachtsadler, Mützenadler) and tri-coloured cockade with oak leaf wreath (Reichskokarde mit Mützenkranz)
    • Single-breasted field tunic with four, pleated patch-pockets, falldown-collar and turned-back cuffs
      • Rank insignia of General on gorget patches/collar tabs (Arabesk-Kragenspiegel, generals' "arabesques") and shoulder boards (Schulterstücke)
      • National emblem (Hoheitszeichen or 'Wehrmachtsadler, "armed foces eagle") as a Nazi eagle cloth patch over right chest pocket (Brustadler, "breast eagle")
      • Military decorations, etc.:
        • The tunic is incorrectly decorated, probably by an ignorant collector. The ribbon bar for example has the ribbon for a WWII Iron Cross Second Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse) and there is a WWII Iron Cross First Class present. However above these a repeat Clasp (1st Class) (Spange) to the Iron Cross was placed, meaning that the recipient had already obtained an Iron Cross 2nd and 1st class in the First World War.
        • Heeresbergführer-Abzeichen der Gebirgstruppe der Wehrmacht, qualification badge/military decoration with edelweiss emblem of the German alpine or mountain troops (Gebirgsjägertruppen)
        • Wiederholungspange zum Eisernes Kreuz 1st class, clasp to the Iron Cross
    • Leather belt, pistol holster
    • Riding breeches (Reithosen) with red, double-wide lampasses (stripes)
etc.
See uniforms, ranks and insignia, and corps colours (Waffenfarben) of the German Army (1935–1945).
