During the colonial days of the USA, British soldiers battling the the rebellious, self-centered, unloyal, usurping colonists had to wear a bright red (scarlet) uniform in battle. Not exactly the best thing to wear for camo in a battlefield of woods or farm land.

So why did they wear that color? Did it represent or symbolize something? Also, when did they stop wearing such uniforms? Was there any British officer stating how silly it was to wear such a color in a battle?

Do you think it was ONLY to preserve the Union? Or do you also think the fact that slavery was morally wrong played a heavy part in it?

Hello. I am starting to get interested in WW2 after listening to my grandfather's tales but am a bit confused about the Nazi military structure, any help welcome!

So here goes: the standard German army wore a grey uniform and 'kettle' helmet, or a peaked cap for Officers. These were the conscripts and infantry soldiers.

The SS were the elite troops (like the Parachute Regiment or Royal Marines of the UK?) and wore an identical uniform to the army, but in black. Again, peaked caps for Officers.

The Waffen SS was just a subdivision of the SS and looked identical. Both were characterised by the 'Death Head' cap badge and were active military personnel.

The Gestapo were not military as such but dealt with intelligence and spying/ interrogation type things, like a paramilitary secret police. No uniform but commonly portrayed in black trenchcoats.

Have I got this right? I'm most confused about the SS/ Waffen SS; were they elite troops or more involved in intelligence?
