Anyone remember seeing pics of Germans wearing shorts in France in 1944 (D-Day on)? Or without shirts or bare-chested? I'm asking because I have a bunch of Victrix North Africa crewmen that I want to put to work.
Some of Victrix's stuff come with two (or alternate) crews. The 88 Flak set has a lot of DAK crewmen. Having already crewed the 88's with European uniforms, these leftover DAK guys could crew my Mardars and converted Hummels.

Artillery crews are often bare chested. Hard work shifting tons of ammo in the sun. I can't say I've ever seen photos of troops in Normandy in shorts, although some units did have tropical (cotton) uniforms.
