Uniforms and Insignia of the HG Panzer Division
Picture from the History of the Fallschirmpanzerkorps Hermann Göring, by Franz Kurowski.
The above picture illustrates the differences in the HG Panzer Division's uniforms, from the regular army uniform. The HG Division wore the Luftwaffe blues, which was a faded blue-grey uniform, different than the standard feldgrau worn by the Heer. The German army style eagle was replaced with the Luftwaffe eagle, over the right breast pocket. Also, the addition of the HG cuff title, on the right arm.

The above picture illustrates members from the 6./Grenadier-Regiment HG. A very unique photograph which shows HG soldiers in Tunisia, May 1943. The two men in the background wear the normal tropical uniforms of the HG Division. The two men in the foreground wear the Waffen SS camoflauge pattern uniforms which were issued in limited numbers to the HG Division. Only about 20% of the HG soldiers received such valuable camoflauge clothing.

The above soldier of the HG Division wears the two-piece snow suit. This winter clothing was given to the soldiers fighting in East Prussia in 1944/45. However, a wide variety of winter clothing was worn by the soldiers.
