German Military Uniforms

Here's a website I found about the uniforms of German soldiers and officers:
http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/german-ww2.htm

It talks about the uniforms of different levels and kinds of German soldiers. There's a variety of uniforms that German soldiers wore. I like the cap of German Luftwaffe (Pic 1) best. It looks very cool! Imagine that I am the pilot of a fighter plane in WWII. I turned left and right in the sky and shot all the enemies off. Bang!

I also like the pattern of a belt buckle of German soldiers in WWI (Pic 2). There is even a swastika, the symbol of the Nazi Party under the bird.





This is the cap that German Luftwaffe in WWII. Isn't it very cool?






The Army's WW1 "God is with us" belt buckle made a
return with a swastika added.

Here's another website I found about German army uniform:

This is a fake WWII German D.A.K. Soldier. It is in the standard tropical uniform of German soldiers of Motor Reconnaissance Unit. The helmet was repainted later.

Here is a website about German military uniforms:
http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/germany.htm

It has a really detailed and clear illustration about different uniforms of different departments, levels and weathers of German armies.


This Waffen-SS uniform is in the "mouse gray" or "mouse brown" color. There are many badges on his uniform. In the left of his chest, ther is a Close Combat clasp (Pic 5) , which is made of gold. There is also a Tank Destroyer badge (Pic 6) on the upper of his right arm. It means that the soldier who earned it destroyed at least one enemy tank.
