Hi all. Much research has been done regarding this subject. Contrary to popular belief among reenactor vendors, some of the colours available are mislabeled or just plain wrong. The original militaria collectors have got it correct and have clarified the colours for those reenactors that choose to listen to their wisdom :)

Heres what you need for specific branches.

Panzergrenadier (late war infantry).

and DAK Infantry. nb. White waffenfarbe was not issued to the infantry in North Africa.

And lastly, what is often mislabelled as Panzergren, is the Gebirgs waffenfarbe.

Early war Infantry, is of course, white.
