Wehrmacht/Waffen-SS winter hood or balaclava

Rare knit winter hood. Issued together with the typical ringed knit gloves. These hoods are the typical winter hoods which were issued later in the war, most probably together with the Italian roll neck sweaters which feature the exact same knit weave pattern. These can be seen on a number of iconic ardennes offensive photographs. One of the rarest winter garment pieces to find which can really finish a mannequin!
