As the result of research I made I have a Propagandakompanie cufftitle on the right sleeve of one of my DAK tunics. For that period, 41-43, this was what was, apparently, commonly worn in Nord Afrika by those units.

I also read that mid to late war, Heer units at any rate, had a smoke grey waffenfarbe for PK/KB, which was a change from the lemon yellow.

I'm also starting a kriegsberichter impression, and besides the cufftitle, I am wondering, where did they carry film? In a mapcase? Breadbag?

Mapcase (Meldetasche) is handy, and also the empty flares pouch can serve for carrying films. I usually use mapcase, I wear it on my right hip, so I can quickly grab in if there is a need.
Mapcase can be seen on some pics of Kriegsberichter, so it seems they were using it . But in the end it really depends on you, whether you really need it or not.

Here is a picture of Toni Schneiders in action. :arrow:

That's what I figured, I'll probably go that route.
Thanks.

Hallo, as how Menju wrote - it depended on situation... sometimes Bildberichters had film material only in their pockets... but who had the hardest work were Filmberichters, when they carried camera. Heavy thing and predisposed to damages, they had to be very very careful...
