How did they survive wearing mostly just these jackets?

These aren't very warm in spite of being wool.

A lot of them didn't.

I know, but it's amazing to me that any of them did live.

Still had great coats I'd imagine.

The weak died, and when they did the strong had two jackets.

>>29587605
they augmented the uniform with other layers- whatever they could scrounge up.

dead guy's stuff, animal furs, whatever they could find.

When I think about it, I imagine a comical scene of a Russian trying to search a German POW and continuously getting befuddled by how many jackets the German is wearing, with his search never ending.

Kinda like one of those nesting egg toys, but with coats.

Human body is amazing. Sometimes.
Read about the chilean rugby team that survived a plane crash in the mountains, and survived minus 40 temp. Of which none of them had ever dealt with before.

can't be worse than the Marines.

they had the great idea of one piece coveralls for their tropical uniform.

Sgts should be in charge of small ticket acquisitions. They know what is really needed. Leave the big ticket items to the brass.
