Waffenrock information


WWII model of the Waffenrock

Waffenrock (also German: Waffenkleid; English: surcoat or tunic) was originally a medieval German term for an outer garment,[1] worn by knights over their armor.[2]

Later, Waffenrock became the generic term for any military uniform, including dress and parade uniforms, and also referred to epaulets or shoulder boards with rank insignia, as well as uniform cuffs, badges, and other insignia. As of 1945, the term is no longer in use by German-speaking armed forces, though the Swedish term for a military tunic is the cognate vapenrock.
