My German army draftee uniform was 100% polyester and I always kinda wondered about that

I'm willing to bet it was a poly/cotton blend, you'd rip all poly fatigues to shreds in the field and if the material was thick enough that you didn't you die of heat exhaustion.

It's been 20 years, maybe Duzzy remembers. I've looked secondhand ones up online and found one vendor each marking them as 100% cotton, 80/20 and 20/80 cotton/polyester blends, but no 100% polyester, so you're probably right.
