Lets find some pics where soldiers have their hands in pockets! This is quite funny topic and needs some searching. You can post any "H-I-P" WW2 -pics in this topic!

Most of the pics are in cold weather
If you had no gloves and you were freezing to the bones you would do just the same

I found some, a little bit of warm and cold weather.

Here you see 2crew member with hands in pockets and by the looks of the clothing, it is not cold :)



But this is quite a... never ending topic and debate?

Very interesting 'overalls' those guys are wearing? Looks like issue HBT that have been joined at the waist and the pockets from the skirt of the tunic transplanted to the thigh of the pants.

I dont think they are the Czech made type pockets are wrong

One seems to have pleated pockets and the other has plain?
Proper field made/unit tailor stuff.
Much more practical in an AFV.

Of course I'm not saying this was ONLY done when it was cold, it has nothing to do with it
It is not so uncommon after all
Hands in pockets? Blame those guys!

You mean to tell me them Germans made trousers with little pouches in them you could put stuff? LIKE HANDS? Jesus

[Panzer212]

Isn't it rather uncommon to see photgraphs were German soldiers have there hands in there pockets? You certainly don't see it all the time.

I guess this is related to the fact that you sometimes see peopl complaining about reenactors having hands in their pockets I guess this is kinda the same thing as the "holding the cigarette right" -debate.

It's related to a post I made poking fun at a friend where he had no belt and hands in pockets. It has all spun off from that.
