German Afrika Korps Officer Uniform from Tobruk
Tan Afrika Korps complete uniform worn by an actor playing one of the German soldiers in Tobruk (1967). The film starred George Peppard and Rock Hudson and detailed the exploits of the Allied armies in North Africa in their struggle against Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps. Includes officer rank tabs on the collar, "Reichsadler" chest emblem, Afrika Korps armband and, uniquely, silver buttons that are stamped on the back with "SS" runes and "RZM", indicating that they are World War II surplus buttons originally intended to be fitted onto actual SS uniforms. Each of these buttons would in itself sell for a considerable amount of money to militaria collectors. Includes Western Costume Company labels on the inner shirt and pants waist.
