A Question:
Wore all SS officer ranks, linings pearl white colour, inside of their black greatcoat ?
Or was only reserved for SS Generals level.
Many Thanks !

White (actually light grey) lapels were reserved for the ranks of SS-Oberführer and above. Those were also the only ranks that were permitted to leave the top of the greatcoat unbuttoned.
