Sporting the typical TAZ83 "Alpenflagge" camo, the Panzerkombi was tested during 1977 as a possible means to improve the chances of escape and survival in case of ejection over enemy territory.

 

We don't have any details, but most likely they must have been "off the shelf" standard configured tank suits.

The suit is equipped with solid 'RIRI' zips; pictured top right is the rank holder - in our example a captain of the 'Fliegerstaffel 17; It also features reinforced straps which, by means of an opening in the back, facilitate the extraction of crew members from a tank. (Also useful in extracting an unconscious pilot from the cockpit.)
