Collars and collar patches of Waffen SS Panzer troops officer's uniforms were piped with silver braid as is correctly shown for two of the Germans. The sergeant commanding the tank at the end however is incorrectly shown as having white piping. Only German Army Panzer troops ever had full piping for all ranks and this was normally rose pink (the arm-of-service colour for the panzer-troops). It could also be gold (armoured cavalry) or black/white stripes (panzer pioneers), but never white. And only collar patches were piped after 1943 (officially). Some Waffen-SS panzer troops wore pink piped collar patches late in the war to be closer to the army style, but SS panzer uniforms never had the full pink piping of the early war army ones.
