Hitler was fully in power by this time, so much the same as in WW2 -grey, black or basic camouflage, with alterations depending on role(tanker, engineer etc), dress (parade or field uniforms) and service (army, navy, airforce)
So that the correct ration book could be issued.
well...... if Hitler didnt eat during WW2, There was a chance of him starving to death. Hitler did eat during WW2 but not as much as his army. Hitler was to busy planing his (future) equipment, so he can advance his army and having more support on having victory on WW2
No, allied soldiers wore khaki uniforms (A shade of medium brown) and German soldiers wore blue/gray. -I believe the first to to wear camouflage were German paratroops in WW2.
at the front ,ww2 impressions ,what price glory
A good forum that is specifically for military items from United States is:www.usmilitariaforum.comStrickly US. No German stuff. There are a lot of collectors and dealers on there who are experts on WW2 militaria. It also has tons of photos of uniforms, patches and equipment, including excellent photos of WW1 uniforms.
Europe & the US were recovering from WW2. Korea was fought by MANY WW2 veterans and WW2 equipment.
Q: What did the Army wear in WW2?AnswerSoldiers were issued uniforms, boots, helmets and equipment and their weapons when they went to war. Each country had their own design and color of uniforms. And within an Army such as US, there were many types of uniforms for different branches of service(Army, navy, Marines) as well as different types of climates. Uniforms could vary based upon the purpose of the soldier. Example a Paratrooper would wear a different uniform than an infantryman or an airman.Why a uniform?Uniforms were issued because it was cheaper to mass produce them. And every soldier had to have something to wear that would identify him as a friend. Having common clothes and equipment made it easier to supply replacement items.
An American infantryman had a helmet, rifle, bombs, and surplus ammunition.
The Marine Raiders had dyed there HBT uniforms black for the Makin Island Raid. The raid was conducted by the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, while the 1st Battalion was on Guadalcanal. After the raid the Raiders used regular uniforms.

The color of WW2 RAF uniforms is actually the result of the weave of three colors of yarn, not an actual dyed color. This applies to both the serge wool used on the Other Ranks uniforms as well as for the barathea wool used in officer uniforms. SInce it's not a solid color, there is no particular dye color that will replicate it.

In general, Italian uniforms were GREY, but not the Grey-Green like the Germans. Their uniforms were a fine gabardine material. However, many Italian uniforms worn in the field were more GREEN, especially the winter uniforms. Of course, the desert troops wore TAN. And the Italians, like the Germans, had WHITE summer dress uniforms. Note: In the movie "Captain Correlli's Mandolin", the color of the uniform appears to have too much BLUE tint. But this movie has some great examples of Italian Uniforms of WW2. At first, I thought the yellow insignia on the hat was incorrect for an artilleryman. Most armies use YELLOW for Cavalry. But the Italian army used YELLOW as the branch color for Artillery. RED was used for their elite units.
The 1939 Buick had the first flashing turn signals. They became standard after WW2.
