Rifle Regts fighting in Panzer Divs wore the ‘Panzer pink’ branch-colour from 15 October 1935 until 28 November 1939, when they changed to ‘meadow-green’ – a yellowish light green, lighter than the Light Infantry (Jäger) and Mountain Infantry grass-green. Rifles were redesignated Panzergrenadiers on 5 July 1942, still wearing meadow-green, although some pre-1939 unit personnel continued to wear pink unofficially. Panzergrenadier Regts formed from Motorized Infantry adopted meadow-green, although some personnel retained Infantry white. The 21st and 26th PzGren Regts, parts of 24th Pz Div (redesignated from 1st Cav Div, 28 November 1941) continued to wear traditional Cavalry golden-yellow, as also worn by the division’s Panzer regiment. As elite units the GD and Feldherrnhalle PzGren Regts wore white, as did Panzer Corps HQ PzGren units such as 79th PzFus Regt (XXIV Panzer Corps).
