Piping Color?

[Panzer212]

Is there a piping color for snipers? I know the movie isn't entirely accurate, but I was watching "Enemy at the Gates" and the German sniper had what looked like dark green piping on his visor cap.

Major Konig in Enemy at the Gates was from a Jägerdivision, thus the green Waffenfarb. Snipers were trained individuals from various units...they would have the Waffenfarbe of the unit they were assigned to.
