I think this green is for Motorcycle units or Panzer Grenadier depending on the date of issue.
The lack of cyphers makes it indeterminable without a date.
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

Thank you for the Quick reply Landser! the Tunic is dated April 1940.If the ribbon bar that came on the tunic is original to the piece the owner was a veteran of the Great War as well.

From what I understand this date was to early to be Panzer Grenadiers do you concur with motor cycle troops?

Yes, motorcycle troops up to 1941.
Nice tunic!
