I want to do a dio with fresh German graves and soldiers but I would like a german padre (if thats what they are called) I found allied padres and even a civilian priest but no german. Anyone got any ideas or photos
Cheers

might be tough.. I've seen German grave diggers/markers. There is also a civilian Orthodox priest.

German Padres wore officer's service uniform without shoulder straps. Their waffenfarbe was I think violet and they wore a large gold crucifix hung around the neck. Not too difficult to convert (No pun intended) from any plastic or resin Wehrmacht officer. There are some photos in Brian L Davis' s Germany Army Uniforms and insignia
