Additional Notes: The WW2 German Waffenrock (M35 Dress Tunic) was a formal dress tunic used by the German Army during WW2. It was originally a medieval term for an outer garment worn by knights over their armor, but by WW2, it referred to a specific type of military uniform. The Army waffenrock was a form-fitting, thigh-length tunic made of fine feldgrau (field gray) wool. It had a taller collar than the standard service tunic and featured collar tabs with Waffenfarbe (branch color) backing. The Waffenrock was worn for ceremonial and parade occasions, often with medals, aiguillettes (for officers), and other formal accessories. Production and issue of the Waffenrock were suspended in 1940, but it remained authorized for walking out.
