Hi,
I need some advise, I'm looking for figures for my Panzer II from Russia 1941,
what uniforms should I look for? black wool and berets? or other caps/helmets/etc. Quite confused.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Iden

By order HM 40, No. 429, dated 27 March 1940, new field caps for panzer troops were introduced. By order HM 41, No. 64, dated 15 January 1941, the black panzer beret was abolished.

So going by this all crews should be wearing m1934/m1938 style field caps. As seen on the new Panzer Regiment 7, 10 Pz Div, Smolensk 1941 crew on sale from Dragon.
