Panzeruniform WW2 feat. @German Tank Museum

In this video the director of the German Panzermuseum Munster introduces you to the German Panzeruniform of the Second World War. He covers the general layout, cut, insignia, the skulls / death heads, differences to the SS-uniform and various other points. Finally, I will add some commentary on the awards. Disclaimer: I was invited by the German Panzermuseum Munster in 2020.

With seemingly inexhaustible permutations of minute details for unit/specialty/rank combinations on WWII uniforms, was this ever a source of confusion on the frontline where German units were interspersed or passing through each other?

Why didn't the tank-arm simply use the usual patches and got the death's head instead? I always wondered...they ad hoc idea is that their color was pink

Military History Visualized

I don't think so, they usually had other problems like traffic accidents etc. Also "war is a team effort", so you rarely encounter a single soldier alone on top of that there are papers for ID.
