patches Posted June 26, 2023 Share #55 Posted June 26, 2023 We see three men with the Camo pants, one with jacket made of it as well, one of the men curiously you'll note wears a Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse, but he's Army for sure as he's wearing the Army cap, and has a Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze. Unit is the 26th Panzer Division, and I belive these are Vehicle Commanders gathering for a photo , Officers and one Sergeant, the one with the Camo Jacket there, unit with the erbeute Semovente da 75/18 in 1944. probably of the division's 93th Panzerjäger Battalion.

The one man with a Silver/White Metal badge on the side of his cap, a Schirmmütze alter Art, maybe will be this for the 26th Panzer Division.

patches Posted August 12, 2023 Share #58 Posted August 12, 2023 An interesting find, would think this is in Italy, several troops who are resting are wearing both caps and smock like affairs made of the Italian Camo. The ones with the Camo are all wearing Leather Leggings and Ankle Boots and appear to be wearing Breeches, that means they are Wagon Drivers of the Horse Drawn Type, possibly Nachschubtruppen in one of the Infantry Divisions, or as Korpstruppen.

patches Posted September 22, 2023 Share #60 Posted September 22, 2023 An interesting one, here a member of the 7th Panzer Division Kursk July 1943, seems like one made of the Italian Camo Cloth, if so then cloth may have been aquired in Russia from Italian Stores, 7th Panzer Division was initially in Army Group South where the Italians were. Note too the Custom made pants with thigh pockets, Reed Green, Field Grey?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted December 7, 2023 Share #62 Posted December 7, 2023 A So Called WAFFEN SS ITALIAN CAMO M1943 " CHARKOW" WINTER UNIFORM PARKA, though we doubt any of these Anoraks were made in early 1943 of the Italian Camo material, and doubtful these Italian Camo ones were even worn outside of Italy by SS or even Army troops, that's not counting any men who had them and brought them with them when their division was transferred out of Italy, like in example the 16th SS Panzer Grenadier Division, transferred to the Eastern Front in February 1945.

Preppy Picker Posted December 7, 2023 Share #64 Posted December 7, 2023 On 10/23/2021 at 10:08 PM, patches said: A nicely colorized photo where we see the back of Max Wünsche and his Italian Camo Tunic, Wünsche had received a head wound a little earlier as we see I often wondered why did so many officers in the 12th SS chose to wear Italian instead of German SS camouflage. I would think the SS camo to be more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted December 17, 2023 Share #65 Posted December 17, 2023 An unidentified SS Obersturmbannführer wearing the Italian camo , see the Special Sleeve Rank,. Uncertain if this is in Italy with a member of the 16th SS Panzer Grenadier Division or in Normandy with a member of one of the units of the I SS Panzer Corps.

patches Posted January 18 Share #67 Posted January 18 Cut just about like a M35 M40 Tunic, an Officer Candidate, Fahnenjunker-Unteroffizier the strap appears to be the Bottle Green type, but note the Tresse for the Fahnenjunker, it is the Tropical Rust color type, something we should think found in some amount in stores in Italy after 1943. Waffenfarbe, one of the various shades of Light Green associated with Panzer Grenadiers, and in Italy there were a lot of Panzer Grenadier Regiments.
