A young SS-Unterscharführer from SS-Panzer Regiment 9, wearing the regulation black vehicle uniform for members of tank units.
It is interesting that even at this late stage of the war this sergeant’s jacket has pink piping to both the collar and the collar patches - the latter a strictly non-regulation feature, and usually associated only with the tank crews of the ‘Wiking’ Division’s SS-Pz Regt 5.
