Leather overcoat and shoulderboards attributed to well known Waffen SS General Sepp Dietrich.  Shoulderboards are of the Oberstgruppenfuhrer rank (three frosted rank pips) in gold bullion and silver cording and are of the  slip-on variety (they have been removed from the coat due to fragility of the underlay fabric).  Non-regulation gold General officer screwpost buttons for shoulderboard attachment, all others are regulation silver, as was correct for the SS.  Dietrich of course, ‘personalized’ his uniforms incorporating some Heer traditions by utilizing gold to indicate General rank as per the army (Heer) style, instead of the silver regulated by the Waffen SS.  There is a dagger hanger also present inside the pocket flap. Overcoat exterior, sleeve lining and inner lining all show much wear and field use.  Coat and separate inside liner both are maker marked.  Comes with several pages of provenance from the veteran who captured this from Dietrich’s home (only one sample page is shown).  Many period photos exist of Dietrich wearing this very coat.  Excellent opportunity to own a very rare piece of history attributed to a charismatic and highly respected General officer of World War Two (Sepp Dietrich was commander of the Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler, which was Hitlers honorary SS bodyguard.
