FIRST OF ALL : THANKS FOR NOT POSTING UNTIL I FINISH TO POST ALL IMAGES…..THANKS

As you may know, the Marschstiefel was withdrawn from service for a certain amount of troops in 1941. These troops were then issued the ankle boots adopted in 1937 that now had to be worn with Gamaschen (gaiters). In this thread, my proposal is to show you the different productions of these Rückzugsgamaschen (retreat gaiters) as the german soldier used to call them…

Gamaschen of the first type in brand new condition made of thick grey canvas with leather edging at the bottom. Buckles with roller are covered with the initial light grey paint.
