I've asked this before, I know, but ended up getting a broken link the last time.

I'm trying to determine the color of the service uniform for the women's auxiliiary soldier.

"Enlisted" Wool-service Uniform Feldgrau, in most cases with HEER & SS Servicewomen; Finer Gabardine for Sergeant and above. In the case of Luftwaffe "Blitzmaedl", the same applies in the Luftwaffe "Blues"...

The illustrations in the Osprey book suggest blue rather than green.

Blue, in the case of Luftwaffe personnel. HEER and SS personnel were issued uniforms in FELDGRAU, which is GRAY-GREEN. OSPREY has made errors before, but so has everyone else...

Luftwaffe personnel were sometime assigned to HEER and SS units, especially in the last year of the war...
