Stalin's white uniform

[DougD]

The first shot is the genaralisimmo (sp?) uniform. He used that unique collar insignia that was later used by the air force generals in 1949.

The second is the regular summer white M1943 for a marshal of the ussr with blue trousers. I sold one like this, with hat, for Budenny awhile back; it could be worn with either blue or white pants. the white pants did not have the stripes though and were very rare.They also had a white M1954 uniform; i think that was the last time generals had a dedicated white uniform.
