It would be easier to get agreement on religion than to get agreement on the meaning of shades of green waffenfarbe.

As I understand it, there are basically 3 greens: grass green, dark green and toxic.

Grass green was for rifle regiments or schutzen regiments in SS- Polizei Division (until 1941-2) and Mountain troops thereafter.

Dark green is for reserve officers until 1941-2 and special service (sonderdienst) officers after that.

Police or Toxic green was worn by SD. I believe this was the same as Schutzpolizei green.

To me, this is dark enough that it MIGHT be considered dark green.

SS panzer grenadiers did not wear green. They wore white.

IMHO the reality was that the shades of greens were worn interchangeably, regardless of what the regulations said.

I have seen this exact board represented a few times as SS Jager or GJ, but the above info states otherwise. I will defer to my far more knowledgeable contemporary.
