Cool stuff Micdrow. Do you know how they would heat the boots?

The boots were connected to the heatable flight suite. This was connected to the "Steuergerät für Fliegerheizbekleidung" (Switch for pilots heatable suite)
The switch below from my collection have two connectors.. One for the flightsuite and the other for the oxygen mask...
