looking to put a new uniform, just for something fun. I've been looking into a few of the GD books I have here at home and have not come up with anything yet. Im trying to find an enlisted man in an assault gun wrap. Did they even exist? Or was it an officer thing, as all the photos I have found are officers. Im not really into putting an officers impression together, I stick to the Obergefreiter. Any direction to books, online resources, or photos in your collection will really help.
Thanks

Depends on what time period you want to reenact, late war...no problem!

Although it is more common to see officers in the pictures, one hast to remember that a lot of pictures aren't taken at the very front of the line, what does this have to do with it? Well, the closer to front you get the more irregularities you find. But for a Mechanised Division, you'll find enlisted men with such outfits for sure. Either from stripping the dead or just being around at the right time when new uniforms were being handed out.

Plenty of evidence of EM in wraps. It was the uniform of assault gun crews and not just for flash Offiziers :)
