The French were seen mainly wearing blue up untill WW2. In 1914, most French Infantry wore a Dark blue uniform coat, red or white trousers, and a Kepi, which was red, or light blue with a cover. In WW2, before the German Invasion the French wore light green uniform coats, pants, puttees, and dark green helmets. By 1945 when the french state was restored the French stuck mainly to their WW2 uniforms as well as a new design, which was shown in the 1954- French-Indochina war. The new French uniform was camoflage, with a Beret or slouch hat.
Most were all shades of Grey coats on Grey trousers with Grey kepi (artillery units wore Red) or (with mostly cavalry units) Black or Gray felt or straw stag hats , but some of the Zouaves wore Grey or Black coats on either Red or White and Grey stripped "chasseur" trousers with Red or Black fez or beret. The piping color of their collar and the outer stripes on their trousers differed according to the military affilliation, such as, Light Blue for infantry, Yellow for cavalry, Red for artillery, and Black for medical branch. Some units, however, did not take the correct color for their uniforms, such as the 8th Texas Cavalry, aka Terry's Texas Rangers. They wore Red (artillery) pipped coats and trousers with grey kepis and stag hats, even though they were cavalry. Early in the war some Confederates wore a butternut colored style uniform.
Hitler's army (the Wehrmacht Heer, the ground component of the Armed Forces) ordinarily wore a field-grey (feldgrau) color uniform. The shirt was a brownish-grey called "mouse grey"; this was not usually visible under the standard high-collared M36 tunic, but could be seen on armored-vehicle crewmen, who wore the double-breasted "Panzer wrap" which had an open collar and lapels and was worn with a black necktie.German troops in North Africa wore the tropical uniform which was all of an olive color: tunic, trousers, shirt and (theoretically) necktie. The desert sun soon faded everything to a khaki shade.Of the other branches of the Wehrmacht: the Navy (Kriegsmarine) wore white shirts (officers) and blue-and-white striped shirts (enlisted). The Air Force (Luftwaffe) wore pale blue-grey shirts.No branch of the Wehrmacht wore the Nazi Party swastika armband.--------Of the Party's own military and paramilitary forces: The SA (Brownshirts) was the original gang of street toughs and bully-boys; they wore tan uniforms which had originated as World War I tropical issue. The SA did wear the swastika armband around the left upper arm.The SS was originally Hitler's personal bodyguard within the SA: until 1932 they wore the SA brown shirt but with black trousers and kepis. In that year the SS adopted the notorious black uniform- still with a brown shirt. The SS armband featured black stripes above and below the swastika.Hollywood loves sticking the sinister all-black SS outfit into World War II movies, and is nearly always wrong. Between 1938 and 1940 the SS transitioned to a new uniform in a lighter grey than the Army. The Hakenkreuz armband was not worn with this uniform: it was replaced by the SS eagle worn as a patch on the left sleeve. This SS service dress can be quickly distinguished from the Army's because it had an open collar and tie like its black predecessor; the shirt was white. The Waffen-SS field uniform, however, was just the Army uniform with SS insignia.

A cloth scarf worn at the back of a knight's helmet is called a "mantle." It was not just a decorative item, but also served to protect the neck and shoulders from the metal of the helmet and sun exposure.
