Good morning,

in 1942 the "front battalions" of the Ukrainian Schuma battalions got the grey uniform replacing the black one.

Would it have had grey , black or dark green shoulder straps ?

Were helmets issued to these Ukrainians or just field caps ?

Hello,

black shoulder straps, and I think they also had black collar tabs/patches . Illustrations show field caps worn.
