Nice Vid. The inside zippered pocket is for a soldier's papers and documents. The inside pouch across the back is for a blanket. This whole M70 suit seems to be a very Swiss idea, just look at how much stuff they stuffed into a Swiss army knife.

The reason for the short sleeves was to stop their arms from dragging on the floor !! 😂🤣(That's a joke !! 😆)The little internal pocket was as you said for a pocket knife.. by the size of it probably the 'Swiss Champion' ! lol

Awesome ! ..I have a few of these !! ..the backpack is cool too ! ..the story goes that the Czechoslovakian army inherited the original pattern off the Germans stored in their warehouses after WW2 and it ended up being bought by the Swiss Army ..In Switzerland that red works really well so I have heard.. also it used to mess with the night vision goggles of the time.. as red becomes grey using those old 'Noctovisor' The whopping great hood was used whilst wearing a helmet !! the rear pouches were used for medical kit.. food and a knife fork and spoon kit ! The funny clip on the front was for the helmet ! ..awesome !! Wonderful that you have the rank slides.. never seen those before. There are amazing forums online about these TAZ jackets !!

Yes I bought the rank tabs from a Swiss website actually, postage wasn't too bad as they fit in a letter.

Yeah the arm length on those combat smocks. I have tried a few on and the arms are way too short. I have a pair of the combat trousers from the same date and they are the most heavy duty trousers of all time. I use them on canoe expeditions, they are super hard wearing, heavy fabric, great for rough country conditions and working around the camp.
