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
