Panzerwaffe, tank corps.
All-black uniform derived from the old Brunswick Hussars.
Here is one of their colonels
That is one ugly Tuetonic son of a gun.
He is wearing a monocle, possibly with a single earpiece? If so, can anyone find a name and picture for the type of monocle?
Yes, that’s it! Great, thank you very much. Do you think the white oval on his chest is a Panzer Badge, then?
He also wears the button-hole ribbon for the Iron Cross, like this.
I guess my late grandfather would’ve agreed with you. As far as I can tell, panzer guy was dating grandma when she first met grandpa.
Pretty sure that’s a Klink Rechts model. the Klink Links model was much more popular.
