Category:Waffen-SS Panzer uniforms

English: The Panzer uniform, Sonderbekleidung der Panzertruppen, was the distinctive wraparound uniform of the German Panzer divisions (tank troops) and assault gun forces during the Third Reich and World War II. These include the Army (Wehrmacht Heer), Air Force (Luftwaffe - primarily the Hermann Göring Panzer Division) and the Waffen-SS. It consisted of a black hip-length double-breasted jacket, black trousers, etc. Wehrmacht tankers wore skulls on the collar patches instead of Litzen. Originally a large black beret was worn, from 1940 a black sidecap and later the M43 field cap. Officers frequently wore 'crusher' peaked caps. The Totenkopf collar insignia of the army's Panzerwaffe was in the ancient jawless Danziger style, while the 'classic' SS skull had a more naturalistic design with grinning jaws.
