What exactly was the standard luftwaffe issue uniform?

[V4I3ntine_Xx]

Ik this websites either dead or this topic has been discussed before , but what exactly was the standard issue Luftwaffe uniform? I find it very confusing as I can't find a single source wich describes it as every source says different, and did they even get Flare pistol holsters? Bc it seems no source shows where the holster was on the person and although I presume it to be on his left side it can't be bc that's where his standard issue pistol holster is , can someone clear this up?

What do you mean by "standard uniform?" There were several different uniforms, depending on purpose, use, field or dress, location, etc.

So what type of uniform are you thinking of?

Luftwaffe pilots could wear whatever they wanted when it came to flight gear. They could mix and match official Luftwaffe issued flight gear or wear private purchase flight jackets, etc.. There was no strict rules on what had to be worn.

Flair guns were fairly bulky and would be mounted in the aircraft or in the Emergency Survival Kit.

If carried by the pilot in could stored in the pocket of his Channel Pants or anywhere else they chose to keep it.

The uniform will be dictated by your job. Remember, the Luftwaffe not only flew and maintained aircraft, they also manned flak batteries in big numbers, put together a couple of notional ground divisions, and made coffee for the Army. Uniform of the day will be different, depending on what you're doing.

As a USAF firefighter, I wore BDUs on a daily basis. No one at all would mistake me for a B-52 crewman, whose UoD was flight suits all day every day.

Furthermore, There were Fallschirmjäger, Flak, and Feld Divisions and even a Fallschirpanzer Division, later Panzerkorps, that used mixed Heer and Luftwaffe gear.
