Luftwaffe Service tunic of Feldwebel Günther, 1st aircraft mechanic of Hans-Ulrich Rudel
This historically very interesting tunic, belonged to the 1st aircraft mechanic of THE German ace, Hans-Ulric Rudel.
Tunic is a high quality tailor made piece made in Langensalza where the III Gruppe of Stuka-Geschwader 2 was founded.
On the left sleeve is the trade badge for flight technical crew members with more than 1 year of service.
On the right sleeve is the 'Immelmann' cuff title worn by Stuka-Geschwader 2 members.
This untouched tunic came from the family of Günther and includes a pre-war photo showing him in this tunic when he served in a flak unit. Also included is a printout of the original sales description from 2007 when it was sold by Klaus Butschek - this contains more info about both tunic and provenance, and can be read here:

Finally I will include the book ''Mein Kriegstagesbuch'' (My War Diary) by Hans-Ulrich Rudel. It contains a few photos where Günther is visible.
Tunic is in overall very nice condition with signs of everyday wear, such as slight discolouration inside the neck area, but no holes, repairs or mothing anywhere.
