What color shirts did Nazi SS troops wear?
The Nazi SS stormtroopers wore brown shirts and uniforms from 1929 to 1932. However, the Nazi SS soldiers also wore uniforms that were black in color and shirts that were brown. With time, there were other changes to the SS Nazi uniform in terms of insignia, colors, and to show the different ranks.
What uniforms did the ss wear?
They had special SS uniforms. Should be able to google it.AnswerPrior to 1937, the SS wore a black uniform comprising a open-collared jacket and breeches normally worn with high boots. A swastika armband, bordered in black, was worn on the upper left arm. A single shoulder strap, indicating the wearer's rank group was worn on the right shoulder. A black trapezium, indicating rank was worn on the left collar, and a black trapezium, indicating the unit to which the wearer belonged was worn on the right collar. The SS runes ('lightning flash') was ONLY worn by members of the Leibstandarte 'Adolf Hitler' bodyguard regiment; all others wore devices such as Roman or Arabic numerals (indicating regiments), or specialist insignia indicating pioneer (engineers) or signals. Security services (e.g. Gestapo) wore a plain black right-hand collar patch.For working purposes, stone grey or brown uniforms, of similar cut, were worn with or without the swastika armband (an eagle was worn when the armband was not).From around 1937 onward, the SS adopted military-style uniforms, in field grey (a green colour) or grey. In the case of the armed SS (which became known as the 'Waffen-SS', the uniforms were almost identical in cut to the Army uniform. Other SS units, such as security police, wore a uniform of identical cut to the pre-war black uniform. Changes included an SS eagle worn on the left arm to replace the swastika armband, Army style rank shoulder straps on both shoulders (police style rank shoulder straps for security police), and an increasing variety of right collar-patch insignia to represent Waffen-SS divisions of foreign volunteers. Tank crews wore a black uniform very similar to those of Army tank crews. The Waffen SS was also well-known for its camouflaged smocks.
Who are the German military police?
There were several different military police. The Army had a military police who were wore the standard army uniform but wore a different eagle and swatika on their uniform and helmet. They wore one on their LEFT sleeve. The SS were the political police and were the ones who wore black uniforms. Before the war, the SA were the police. They wore brown shirts and the small hat (similiar to a kepi) and were called the "Brown shirts". They were replaced by the SS.
What is the difference between the luftwaffe the SS and gestapo?
Originally organised by Hermann Goering, the gestapo was Prussia's secret state police. However, it eventually became part of the SS and operated throughout Germany and in occupied areas. Members of the Gestapo generally operated in civilian clothing but, in occupied areas, often wore SS uniform with police-style (rather than SS) rank insignia. Membership of the Gestapo didn't necessarily mean membership of the SS.
