Hi Zbiratelj, the belt buckles worn by Panzer units were the standard Heer, Luftwaffe or Waffen SS or Police pattern. All these branches of service had Panzer units

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,

This is interesting, Panzer in the Luftwaffe! What were they? Ordinary tank troops equipped with LW personnel? Or armored Flak? Or? Thanks!

Hi Theodor, I am sure you have heard of the "Herrman Goring" Division?

They were the Luftwaffe's elite ground combat formation. They were a fully fledged armoured Division, with a full range of tanks, & vehicles, including some, like the special SdKfz 251 FLAK half tracks made just for them.

I love the wearing of the black Panzer jacket with the Luftwaffe Officers schirmutze.
Here is a link with a bit of info and a pic :

Hope this answers your question?

Cheers, Ade.

A great answer, thank you very much, Ade!!! Of course I knew the HG, but always imagined them as some boys in blue LW uniforms running around with K98 /so rather I should say "heard of", than "knew" haha /
