I believe the depiction in the movie is of Luftwaffe General Staff officers, who wore carmine piping (as opposed to the rose piping of the ingenieurkorps). General staff officers below the rank of general wore the carmine stripes on their trousers / breeches (as depicted in the film), whereas only ingenieurkorps officers of general rank were entitled to wear rose coloured stripes
Ah right you are, I should have known better. I saw pink on Luftwaffe tunics and thought no further. Anyway I wouldn’t have guessed Hogan’s Heroes would feature an Ingenieurkorps tunic, fun to know. As for other films, I feel like Downfall or Valkyrie have a high likelihood of featuring Ingenieurkorps officers as background extras, but am only guessing
