Double cuffed shirt with attached buttons

Perhaps a rather unsavoury topic, but nevertheless: I was looking at WW2 German shirts and noticed that some, specifically the 'brown shirts' had turnback double cuffs. More interesting was that they had an attached button. I can't find a good picture of it right now, unfortunately.

Were these kinds of shirts common back then? They seem like a good idea for casual shirts where you don't want to wear cufflinks, but prefer the double cuff.

I have a shirt, admittedly single-cuff and not vintage, that has both buttons and holes so that you can wear it either with flinks or as a regular barrel cuff.

Nobody wants to go back on the battlefield because Gunter lost a cufflink.

I like a good double-cuffed shirt but no longer own one. A sharp dressing colleague of mine came to work wearing one and I asked him where he had purchased it. “Brooks Brothers” was his response. I went on line and found the shirt: about $150 per shirt. That was the end of that particular day dream.
