Description
Every soldier needs a shirt, and every Heer Army soldier needs a comfortable and accurate reproduction of a panzer’s shirt. Our WW2 German Panzer Shirt is made from 100% cotton and benefits from buttoned cuffs, a collarless design and has the original half-buttoned design. Originals were generally worn unadorned by insignia, but shoulder boards and sleeve or breast eagles were very occasionally seen on those which were worn in hot climates without a tunic over the top.
This quality product is perfect for re-enactments throughout the year or can even be used as a nightgown if that’s your cup of tea.

By the end of World War Two, the Heer army had approximately 5.3 million soldiers. It was the land forces component of the Wehrmacht and was used between 1935-45. Hitler announced that the end goal was to have 36 divisions, it took just 17 months to achieve this. Coupled with operations and tactical methods, the German Army managed 2 quick victories using a new warfare style called Blitzkrieg (lightning war.) The Heer was notorious for its combat efficiency, besting the British and the Americans with studies suggesting that the British needed 45% more troops than the Germans to have an even chance of winning.
In total an estimated 13.6 million soldiers served the Heer before it was disbanded at the end of the Second World War.
