Confused about Waffenfarben...

#1

Hallo everybody,

This is probably discussed in the passed but I will ask again because I would like to find a definite answer.

What were the Waffenfarben of the Aufklärungsabteilung (recce btln.) of the 1. SS-Pz.Div. LSSAH during the various stages of the war? Pink, yellow-gold, copper-brown? I've been given conflicting answers.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Timo

Thanks,

So this means it should be copper brown (mech. recce) and not yellow gold (recce)?

Regards,
Timo

Hi Timo!

The SS Waffenfarben system was changed several times during the war. But I was never able to find a answer about when and how it was changed. Hope I will dig something out sometime.

Its very confusing Christoph. I tend to go for copper brown because they were mechanized. I never wanted to botter veterans of AA LAH with such questions but I guess I will soon.
