Did the Panzer truppen that got issued U boat jackets change the silver buttons to
The black urea ones or where some issued with them?
If possible, could people upload some pics of them wearing them?
Cheers

Re: U boat jackets
they werent U-Boat uniforms - they were Italian navy.
Most commonly 2nd Battalion 12ss Panzer regiment. though also seen elswhere in 1st SS panzer corps.
not sure why they would be changing buttons ?

Re: U boat jackets
I've got two pic and the one has the silver buttons then the other picture, the bloke has the black urea ones on it. I can only guess they might have changed them due to silver being shiny.
I could be wrong mind lol
Also, did they wear the panzer wraps underneath or just a shirt?
And last one, did any ever pin they're tank assault badges to them?

Re: U boat jackets
over wraps / shirt - either - depends on the wether Most normandy shots show the wrap worn.
awards - some wore on the leather - but not common - mostly left on the wrap.
Metal buttons shown in all the pics I just checked.
