To be honest, Im not too familiar with what a Luft tanker would wear.
The Luftwaffe's armored units adopted the black Panzer uniform of the Heer, but with different insignia.
Please see here for some period images:

Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
oh ok, So they did wear the regular black panzer uniform then! To be honest the only Luft Armoured Units Ive personally ever read about have been the HG divsion. I wonder why the heck the guy would even think it was a Luft panzer/armoured man when he is obviously in fleigerbluse? I got it from ww2germanphotos.com where it was labeled as such. I usually dont pay much attention to titles, but this one caught my attention since I had never seen this before and never knew any other Tanker/armoured uni other than the Grey StuG, black panzer wraps/ and HG uniforms etc. It was only $1, so I figured it was worth a question here since I didnt know anything about it. Thanks for the links, very neat images they show there, even the reanactor HGD man.
Heres the link: 31st row from the bottom is the photo

This is what it is labeled under:

Hi Bill, it is a nice image and the slightly dark looking shade to the uniform in the photo has made the seller mistakenly id the uniform. But at $1 who cares! Nice buy.
Hi HPL, I really like the images of your Grandad. Very rare cap shown.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
haha thanks Ade, but I should have personally picked up on that being an ordinary fleigerbluse. But Im no expert and still have alot to learn, so I figured I was seeing something I had never seen before when the seller titled it like that! haha. Good thing HPL keeps me in line tho! And I agree, those pics of his Grandfather are really neat.

Super images! Thanks for sharing them. I would love to own one of those caps. Almost like a WW1 British cap in design.
Cheers, Ade.
