3. SS-Panzerdivision, Totenkopf Set

The 3. SS-Panzerdivision „Totenkopf“ was formed from early SS military units and first saw combat in the 1940 Western Campaign. It later played major roles on the Eastern Front, including actions at Demjansk, Kharkow, and Kursk, and continued fighting through to the final battles in Hungary and Austria. Known for its combat effectiveness, the division was often deployed in critical sectors of the front.

Combat uniforms typically included the SS Feldbluse (field tunic) in field-grey (M40/M43), or Tarnjacken (camouflage smocks) in Erbsenmuster (pea dot) or Eichenlaubmuster (oak leaf pattern). These were paired with Feldhosen (field trousers) and either Marschstiefel (jackboots) or Schnürschuhe mit Gamaschen (lace-up boots with gaiters).

Insignia featured the division’s Totenkopf (skull) on the right collar tab, SS-Runen on the left tab, and the cuff title „Totenkopf“ worn on the sleeve. Headgear included the M43 Feldmütze (field cap) or the M40/M42 Stahlhelm, often fitted with camouflage covers or netting in the field.

This set represents the division’s standard combat appearance during mid- to late-war operations across the Eastern and Western Fronts, focusing on historically accurate gear used during active service.
