Membership required strict adherence to Nazi racial ideology, and this branch played a leading role in the Holocaust and extreme atrocities.Uniforms and AppearanceStandard Field Gear: German army soldiers wore field-gray (feldgrau) wool tunics, steel combat helmets (Stahlhelm), and black leather boots or ankle-boots with gaiters.Insignia: Uniforms featured the national emblem (an eagle holding a swastika, known as the Reichsadler) on the right chest and collar tabs.The SS: Distinctly wore black uniforms in early/ceremonial settings (later field uniforms often in patterned camo or gray) featuring the Totenkopf (death's head) or lightning-bolt Runes symbols.
