1943....skull looks to be on the Scharfuhrer ?

TK was entirely Eastern Based, might not fit so well with all events ?

PS I think i know what happended to Kermits lost field phone .

Yep know what you mean but some people at my local airsoft site are a bit put off by SS insignia and would be ignorant about the Totenkopf which can easily be swapped for events with SS tabs. Just after what types of colour piping on shoulder boards and any other insignia they used.

If going SS would upset others, why not go Heer ? Saves a lot of the "I'm not a Nazi bollox ."

AFAIK Waffenfarbe was universal ...White for Infantry Pink for Panzer Yellow for Recon etc.

Have already got a Heer uniform but want to do the SS tunic so I can mix and match withe my SS camo trousers and smock rather than full Pea Dot or Oakleaf.

I've got several TK uniform tunics. M43 would have single horizontal BeVo skull on the right wing of the collar, with a stock SS type on the left (blank for SS-Mann, etc etc). Shoulder board waffenfarbe as per other branches of the SS. As to TK being entirely Eastern based, thats not quite right. They fought in both Belgium and France in 1940. 1941 onwards, they were then Eastern Front only.

Thanks gents, an easy swap around then when I want to change to SS. Just change the right hand collar tab, thanks.

True , although in regimental size and pretty irrelavant for most airsoft events I'd suggest . lol

it was a Division in size by 1940...
