WWII U.S. Army Infantry GI Set

The core of the US companies consisted of squads made up of no more than twelve soldiers.
Each squad included a sergeant with the rank of squad leader, a corporal with the rank of deputy squad leader, a machine gunner and a rifleman.
The best-known uniform worn by US troops during the Second World War was the M1941 field jacket, which was based on a civilian design, and the M1943 field jacket (a modified version of the M1941).
The M1943, equipped with four large pockets, was developed to standardise the uniform and was delivered to soldiers from the end of 1943.
However, due to production delays, the M1941 continued to be used by many troops.
In winter, troops used overcoats and Mackinaw coats derived from civilian products, as well as mufflers, gloves and the like.
The crews of US armoured vehicles preferred to wear the warm and functional "tanker jacket".
