Development of  assault  guns in the lte  1930`s  such  as the Sturm-Geschutz 111  exposed  the need  for  suitable   uniforms  for  the  crews. The black  panzer  wrap  was  the obvious  choice > However  the  members  of  the  newly  formed  Sturmartillerie  provided  close  support  for  infantry  and often had to act  as scouts  on foot in open  terrain.  So a field  grey wool version  of  the panzer jacket  was  chosen.   It was  basically the M36 panzer  pattern so a double breasted jacket of  feld  grau  wool. The  fall collar  unlike  the panzer version had no piping but  the  shoulder boards  had  the red  waffenfarbe  for  artillery . This later M36   pattern  enabled  the  wrap  to be button  up  and closed  at the top via a metal eyelet. The lining were partially lined  with  grey cotton  twill. But Later  in the  war  this  was  replaced  with  rayon, a type of artificial silk  becaseu  of  shortages.

There  were manufacture  variations  made  during  the  war  liem,  the  denim summer version .  The  buttons  were mostly  grey plastic  but  horn buttons  can also be found. Collar  insignia  was   field  grey tabs  with stamped  metal  deaths  head (totenkopf)  skulls  surrounded  again by  red piping. The national  emblem(  eagle  and  swastika)  was  stitched  to the right  breast. This  was  the  woven or  BeVo variety. Field grey   wool  shoulder boards(Schulterklappen)  complete the  jacket.

A  final note  from 1941  onwards  the uniform  was  gradually  broadened  to encompass other  branches  of  the  German army. Late in  the  war infantry units  were occasionally  issued  with  this  jacket  as  a  replacement  to the  four  pocket  tunic.
