german tnk commanders

Hi there
If i remember correctly they did. It was a kind of status symbol. Just my 2 cents. But dont take my word for it. Im sure some1 will b able 2 clarify that.
And of course i almost forgot.

Keep well.

Hun,,,, From what I can find Mostly they did,, However you can Find Pictures of them in Gray coveralls early in the war and also Cammo uniforms later in the war. But on the whole tho if you paint them in a black uniform you usually cant go wrong. Hope this helps.

Not only the tank commander uniform but also armoured troops NCO uniform remains black trough out the war. There are a few changes to the colar and thats about it. But during the winter of 1944 you often see tank crews wearing the camuflage uniform.

Welcome-see somebody always knows the answer.

Generally, the later you go in the war, the more variation you get. Black Panzer tunics, Field Gray Tunics, Reed Green uniforms, various Heer splinter-pattern camouflage jackets, Italian camo material, black U-boat leather jackets, splinter-pattern coveralls, and even the mouse-gray wool undershirt was sometimes outfitted with insignia and worn when in shirtsleeve order during the summer. Then there is SS Panzer clothing, which is a whole different story.

Assault gun guys on the other hand rarely wore black. They almost always wore gray or green uniforms. Late in the war most bets are off though.

they have already answed so
Welcome to the forums

could commanders have worn field green tunics at kursk? i'm building a panther d and i want to use a set with all field green clad figures.

The summer-weight, field-green uniform of drill material was introduced for armored car crews in May 1941. It proved popular in hot weather and was soon issued to crews of all kinds of AFVs. I have a color photo of a Tank-Destroyer NCO, Russia, 1943-44, in this uniform if you want it.

I think the ? has been answered so I'll just say
Welcome to FSM.

Dark or black is early, Camo is late.
