| Luftwaffe Named service tunic for a pilot Oberleutnant in JG 300 'Wilde Sau' |
| Here's a great looking tunic with a history! It is named to Fritz Lonzius (born 10.08.1911 in Magdeburg), who was a pilot and Group Leader in JG 300 and credited with one arial victory. He is mentioned a few times in the JG 300 Chronicles by Lorant/Goyat. Apparently he became heavily addicted to Pervitin (Methamphetamine) in the last days of the war. Tunic has loops for a ribbon bar, a flight clasp and 3 awards. On the lower back and on the back of one sleeve there are some clean cuts which have been very neatly repaired probably by a tailor, and thus not very noticable. Inside in the same areas are some stains which look like blood. In one pocket is a letter from the US vet who brought it back, explaining how he aquired the tunic during the very last days of the war. Tunic shows light wear and the overall condition is excellent. |
