World War 2 and history fanatic, I've posted lots of content on many sites over the years like GameFront/Fileplanet but like many of the other great mods by other talented modders they are all lost to history now. If anyone out there has saved any of my work over the year I would appreciate it if you let me know as my hard drive died that it was all stored on, Thanks.

Description
This is a German Officer skin that I made at the request of BrandonDR for the custom map he is working on that can be found here Moddb.com.
Looks Nice.
Nice detail
Was the black form of the SS not abolished before the war? It should be gray or green.

Yeah but its the colour he BrandonDR requested me to do for him so that is what I did.
God, so many ridiculous mistakes here...
As I said, it is what was requested of me. I am not a fan of the black uniform used in combat mods as they were the lifeguard, not combat troops.
Well, actually the color of the uniform is the least of the problems ... In principle, the black M32 was relevant for the "rear units" of the SS (like the Allgemeine SS) until the end of the war. There is even a story that the last commandant of Dachau entered the negotiations with the Americans in a black uniform, which greatly enraged them.
1)The officer's tunic model from CoD2 is completely unsuitable for the M32, because it does not have an open cut.
2)The sleeve ribbon "Deutschland" is completely ridiculous, "Deutschland" was an SS-VT regiment, which later became part of the Waffen SS Division "Das Reich", and had nothing to do with the security guards of death camps.
3)The sleeve eagle on the black uniform is even more ridiculous. The eagle on the SS uniform appeared for the first time on dark green uniform kits, as a replacement for the armband, it was never worn on the black uniform (with the exception of the "Germanic SS", but they had eagles of their own design)
4)On a black uniform, one shoulder board was always worn, instead of two. Plus it was a different variation.
5)The belt buckle is wrong, it is a soldier variant, not an officer's
6)The armband is wrong, it's a ordinary party rag, like those worn in the SA. SS armbands had black piping
7)Decorations are wrong
