Allgemeine SS
The similarities between the Panzer uniform and the SS Panzer uniform, and the use of a Totenkopf emblem by both, led to incidents of Army Panzer crewmen being shot by Allied soldiers who assumed they were SS members. Ironically the infamous black "Allgemeine SS" uniform, familiar from prewar newsreels, was not worn by combat troops; the Waffen-SS wore "feldgrau" or camouflage.
