Hello,
Can anyone tell me if they have ever seen an official Waffenfarben Color Chart from the III Reich era? Much confusion over Judicial, Nebeltruppen, and sondertruppen in red wine color. Also a pure example of grass green and light green for Jagers, Grenadiers, Gebirgstrupp, Schutzen. What are your thoughts?
Thanks, Don

Hi Don,
definitely there has been confusion about the differences between the "Waffenfarben".
For example ,Jaeger and Gebirgsjaeger tropps and even the Skijaeger did share the same Waffenfarbe (light green).The only further distinction were the different sleeve patches
worn on the right sleeve and the cap insignia worn on the left side of the headgear.Only the Skijaeger did also waer a different uniform.There have been some Waffenfarben colour charts like this one which also has been published in the german magazine "Die Wehrmacht".
