I plan on building a Hummel in the Self-Propelled Indirect Fire Support gun campaign and I would like to have an active crew in the Hummel- I saw dragon makes a German howitzer crew that would work for the posing but would the uniforms work in a self-propelled howitzer?

Thanks in advance

Hummels belonged to the PanzerArtillerie, so crews should have worn the Field Grey version of the Special Panzer Uniform with red piping. Alternatively panzer denims or overalls are possibles. There are a couple of photos of Hummels in the old Squadron/Signal title on PzIV derivatives, which show soldiers wearing ordinary Field Grey, but these shots also show an "overcrewed" Hummel (normal complement was 6), so these may be infantry or supply soldiers (the Special clothing was only issued to actual vehicle crews not to ther members of Panzer or Panzerartillerie units) along for the ride.
