"Why did they roll up their sleeves?"

Wool is the only natural fiber that will keep you warm when wet.

This question has kept me up at night for the past 30 years. Finally I can sleep.

All Soldiers everywhere went “no shit, Sherlock”!

Unlike cotton, wool clothing will still keep you warm when it gets wet. If you’ve done any mountaineering, wool is recommended.

"Why did the NAZIS..." When will people ever learn that from 1933 till 45 German soldiers were part of the "Wehrmacht." Wehrmacht was a technical term like Red Army or US Armed Forces. Wehrmacht soldiers were drafted to serve just as Red Army members or any other Army in the world.

Literally everyone rolled up their sleeves during the war

My father was a German soldier and NOT a Nazi. He didn’t like them but he had to serve as a soldier. So please call German soldiers not Nazis in General!!!!

Wow, mind blown. I would never have thought that they rolled their sleeves up bcoz they were hot. Crazy man

[samuelstevens]

The Allies used wool too. Wool is a far superior material. It is odour resistant. Tough. And will still keep you warm if it’s soaking wet.

It wasn’t really a price thing, wool keeps you a lot warmer especially when wet

[Bahamut]

Wool is completely superior to Cotton on multiple fronts. It wasn't used because it was cheap. The German Army invested seriously into the quality of their uniforms and gear so that soldiers were effective. All the German kit is expensive.

It wasn't to look tough.. or scare their enemies.. You are easily scared bro..😅

German uniforms were wool by design just like the US GI uniform (which was also wool). The purpose of this is the fact that wool keeps you warm when wet. Also, GI did roll up their uniforms the reason it was more common among Germans was because the unlike the GI uniform was made to be paired with a field jacket, great coat, or even a dress jacket etc, the German tunic was made to be both a dress jacket and combat jacket it was a heavier weight than the GI 1936 Mustard Shirt and Pants.

Australians in Tobruk just wore their shorts during the day. Desert conditions are hot and cold. July 1941 got to 53 degrees(124 farenheit), at about 11 am. The Dad's skin was nearly black coming out of that joint, afterseven months.
