Did SS-TV used erdgrau M37 too?

Dear guys,

I know that the SS-TV used M37 tunics in erdbraun, but I wonder, did they use the erdgrau version too?
And if yes, how often?

Many thanks in advance

I think it is very difficult to say as telling the difference in period photos is hard. Most are B&W and telling earthbrown from earthgray is tuff.

Thanks.
I wonder if there's any period document dealing with this issue.
Being very similar colors I presume they were pretty often confused.

I only know about the regs. concerning earthbrown tunics and their limited use inside the KZ. I am not sure how wide ranging the EG were. One in drillich just sold assigned to foot regiment 20. That's a pretty obscure unit so one might expect wide-range usage.

Yes the SS-TV was issued earth gray uniforms just as the A-SS and SS-VT were.
I don't have it in my files but I have seen a pic of some SS-TV men wearing both earth brown and grey uniforms. It is difficult to tell the difference by themselves but when theyre side by side its fairly easy. Earth grey has a darker shade than earth brown.

Just my 2 cents

Beautiful uniform! But I believe that it is an unissued (or very lightly used) earth grey uniform, not brown. Im trying to find a pic of an earth brown uniform, once I do Ill post it.

No, earth grey is really grey, and real different from this.
