Summary edit

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Mannequin dressed in a fatigue dress uniform (work suit) of a soldier enlisted in the army of Nazi Germany (German: Wehrmacht Heer) :
    • Peaked, soft ski cap with turn-down ear flaps secured in front by two buttons, the M43 field cap (Einheitsfeldmütze) used by the German Wehrmacht and SS during World War II. Triangular shaped cloth patch cap badge with military style "eagle-and-swastika" (Hoheitszeichen, Hoheitsadler, Wehrmachtsadler) and national cockade insignia.
    • All-white (offwhite) jacket/blouse (Jacke, Hemd) and trousers (Hose). Most Wehrmacht recruits previous to 1940 were issued a fatigue uniform (Drillichanzug) for basic training which they kept for work details, weapons cleaning and other duties likely to soil clothes. This was an unlined, insignia-less uniform made of linen or cotton herringbone twill (HBT) or drill that typically had two buttonless patch pockets on the skirt.
    • German Wehrmacht breast eagle (Brustadler) insignia, a cloth patch worn above the right breast pocket, showing the German imperial eagle national eagle (Reichsadler, Hoheitszeichen, Hoheitsadler) in the form of a Nazi version Art Deco stylised "eagle-and-swastika". This badge version from the Model 1944 Field Blouse used a triangular backing for speed and simplicity of manufacture.
    • Carrier holsters with shoulder straps, for German WWII mines or battle gas warning flags
  • Enamel advertising sign/poster for Juno cigarettes, a German tobacco brand
  • German mine field warning sign
  • German equipment container used in Norway 1940
  • German signboards
  • WWII photos
etc.
