Are you kidding? Pink is for armor.

It can get confusing but basically anything tank or anti tank was pink waffenfarbe. Artillery waffenfarbe was red so crews of Stugs (which started out as mobile artillery) also had red waffenfarbe. They continued with red waffenfarbe even when the Stugs became basically anti tank. Said it was confusing.

So the personnel of any division could be wearing a multitude of Waffenfarben, depending on their particular branch, or specialty, irregardless that they may all be in an infantry (or whatever) div.? On a slightly different tangent, I've noticed pics (B/W) of anti-aircraft crews of 2 cm guns - Waffenfarbe is not distinguishable. Most wear Luftwaffe uniforms with Luftwaffe style eagle, but some crews are wearing Heer uniforms with appropriate eagle. All 2 cm guns are ground mounted for anti-aircraft use. So were Heer units also trained in Anti-aircraft warfare, or is this just a case of wearing whatever uniform was available at the time?

However within the infantry regiment in heavy companies there were also Pak and the crews, being infantrymen would wear white.

Now this brings me back to my original question about towed Pak's in infantry divisions wearing pink or white Waffenfarbe. At first, the general consensus was pink, and now it's back to white. Is there a distinction between towed Pak's of an infantry regiment (white) of a division, and the Pak regiment (pink) of the same division? I'm modeling a Krupp "Boxer" of an infantry division towing a 3.7 cm Pak, circa summer '42. So would the crew wear pink or white Waffenfarbe? Did an infantry regiment use horse-drawn artillery, or vehicle-drawn? Did only motorized infantry use vehicle-drawn?
