Hello all...
I'm requesting help from those more informed than I about the use of the two 'shades' of pea dot tunics and trousers (not the panzerwraps and panzer trousers)...
specifically the lighter shade M43-style tunics and trousers worn by SS Panzergrenadiers...as opposed to the 'darker' shade...
was one more prevalent than the other?...I understood that the differences were not only in the 'shade' of pea dot, but the material itself...
Specifically, the 17th SS in Normandy, and the various units defending Holland during "Market Garden"...light or dark?....or both?...
Pics taken during the "Bulge/Ardennes" campaign seem to be the darker pea dot...was this necessarily so?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce
