Avaialble images show German boys wear a range of socks and long stockings with kneepants. Kneesocks were always worn with knickers and usually with short pants suits. We have not noted German boys commonly wearing shortpants suits with short socks. Some younger boys wore short pants suits with long stockings, both during the winter and for dress occasions.
