Volksdeutsche
The anti-German hysteria in the context of WW1 and unemployment during the depression were important factors for (mostly first or second generation) Germans to return to the Reich during the 1930's. Books dealing with German-American returnees: Arthur L. Smith: "The Deutschtum of Nazi... -
Suggestions Requested: Portraying a 1947 Vehicle Salesman
Basically it wouldn't differ from any outfit a respectable business man would wear at that time. Search for photos of salesmen from the 1940's... Louis Horwitz car salesman... photos from 1948. http://www.hemmings.com/hcc/stories/2015/04/01/hmn_feature8.html- Fastuni

Volksdeutsche
The "1000 year Reich" after a German victory would have been both considerably larger and much more racially defined. The Nazi state would have been very much interested to reduce distinctions between former "Volks-" and "Reichsdeutsche" to create a "homogenous" race-based Germanic empire. To... -

Show us your British suits
If I understood it right the label on this suit bears the company designation in the version used until 1936. But certainly these labels were used up for several years after 1936. I don't know whether it's any clue... but the trousers have no fob pocket. -
Show us your British suits
A "Montague Burton" suit... solid quality, navy chalkstripe worsted. The shoulders are roped. I presume (considering the lack of a CC41 label), that this is likely a pre-1942 specimen. According to this site it is the 1936 MB label... -

Interesting video
Quite fun! But us sticklers would note that the hat for 1935 has an odd hatband and the trousers for 1945 are too short (for 1915 way too long).- Fastuni

1930's Pinstripe Peak Lapel Jacket with Issues Size 40R/42R
I wouldn't reweave the holes in this case. I think the fraying on the hem can be hidden by "shortening" (just by pressing... not cutting off) the length of the jacket. The large holes are on the back of the sleeve cuff near the slit. Small patches from the fabric or matching thread mends would...- Fastuni
