discussion SS panzer tank crew uniform colour ?

[Alan 45]

First did SS tank divisions use assault guns like brummbars, elephants , stugs , ect and if they did did they where camo or standard field grey for there Uniform ?

I know that there uniforms were black the the other, not sure on, other divisions used stugs and some off the other, at times and towards the end,

others will know for sure and help you out and i will lean as well,

They did indeed use assault guns-'Das Reich' unit. They used a wrap jacket, it was in a grey-green colour.

He came with tamiyas German tank crew at rest figures but he had no legs so I left him out be a shame not to use him in something as he is very detailed

One thing to remember Alan - all Panzer crew insignia featured the skull on their collartabs, not only the Waffen SS.

It's actually a very old symbol, representing the Deaths Head Hussar & the reason why Heer Panzer divisions were often referred to as the 'Black Hussars'
