They look cool in black, so the game models would. They may be censored, idc. But black.

While these SS honour uniforms are very iconic, SS soldiers did NOT wear them in combat.
The intimidating devilish black colour may look cool but its impractical in the field.
probably the most realiable source on the matter:

Understood.
But my point is, we already have black helmets, so why not some coats?

Hard to argue against that logic.
Well I guess SS reservists that ended up in Volksturm did wear them so maybe add them to Berlin maps?

Since when enlisted cares about historical accuracy?
What I said is simply to entertain the audience.
It doesnt change the fact that it would be a cool item to own.

Premium squad at most, I don’t want to see people running around in these coats too often

but in the game it can be extremely practical. You become invisible in any dark room.

It is really simple, Germans never used black coats in combat.

It was used by the SS which also included Austrians, Danes, Norwegians, Swedish, Dutch, Swiss ect…
Also it was worn by SS reservists in Volkstrum so it was worn, but not by the SS in combat.

No? Black uniforms were never used in field. Waffen-SS used field coats issued by Wehrmacht with SS insignia. Only honorary SS regiment guarding ceremonies wore black uniforms. No idea from where you have such info.

I already posted it.

Obviously if we are talking about Battle of Berlin then yes, there were several cases of them being used, but it was rarity. 1945 was organisational mess.

Yes I know, I just corrected your over generalised statement :slightly_smiling_face:

Full black SS uniforms? - gives me medal of honor flashbacks
