What uniforms did the SS use in the Battle of France (1940)?

M36 and M40 type and often without SS collar tabs...Usually removed for security reasons...
That was the norm in the west during the Blitzkrieg...(and uniforms usually entirely
covered by SS camo smocks, hiding the SS eagle and cuff title!)
Here Das Reich and Germania Regiment during the French campaign...Last edited by NickG; 11-11-2017, 12:35 AM. -
More examples...no visible SS collar tabs (removed) but double decal SS helmets
so that was a clear indicator...but often covered with mud! (see 2nd image)
2nd image again Germania Reg with collar tabs removed for security reasons
and helmet covered in mud...(decals camouflaged!)Comment
