It looks like in a month or so I might finally finish a 234/2 Puma and I'm starting to give the crew some thought.
The time frame will be Normandy 1944 and the unit will be 2Pz Division, which had a full complement of the vehicles.
The possibilities are limited as there were only 100 of these made and in Normandy only 2nd Panzer(25), Panzerlehr(25), and 1st SS Pz(16) had them.
So for the 4 man crew I was wondering first about the uniform. These Recon guys were as elite as they come, so I would imagine they would not give up their black wraps easily, but what do you guys think, field grey wraps o black wraps?
It was summer, so HBT over black would be too much.
As with all my crews I would mix and match items, some Heer camo here and there and various headgear.
What about waffenfarbe? Pink or yellow? By the book would be yellow for recon, but again pink appears to have been more of an elite distinction.
Thanks in advance for you input.
