ERRORS/INACCURACIES
Please outline here any mistakes I've made in crafting these uniforms, or simpler things such as wrong names and grammatical errors.

If the problem is an uniform mistake please outline the problem like the following:

Uniform of origin: i.e Wallonia

What the issue is: Collar is facing the wrong way

In your mod, problem of texture with uniforms rolled sleeves : the texture of whole uniform appear on rank's badge.
Solution :
"
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo","badge"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\YOUR_PATH\Texture_of_rolled_sleeves.paa",""};
"
For camo, you put your texture as you have made ;
For badge, you "cancel" the call of any texture by "".

Hello, at first, sorry for my not so much good english, sadly, its not my native language, but i will try my best to keep it shorter and simplier as possible. Ive been doing historical reenactment for a few year already, with specialisation on Waffen SS units, so please, believe me that im really just trying to help this awesome mod to be little bit better with historical accuracy. So to the point. There is multiple wrong details on 13.SS - Handschar uniforms. First, this division did not receive sleeve cuffs with name of their division. There was few of them that have been made, but they never been actually used, only maybe on some high rank officers. But there is no actual photo to prove that (at least i and my colleagues did not find any). Second, there was difference between colours of the shoulder boards, different colors for a different special units, 13.SS Handschar, was a Mountain division (Gebirgsjäger) and as such, they should have green colour on shoulder boards.
And as Mountain division, they sould have another patch on their right sleeves. Mountain troops carry on their right sleeves an "Edelweiss" this is universal symbol for all Gebirgsjäger units, german army is using it even today.
As for their gear, they did not mainly use any Y straps, if they wanted to support weigh on their belt with attached gear, they used Bread Bag Strap ( http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/images/uploads/zzzzzzzz34srp/zzzzzzzxmgslg-039319.jpg ) - they attached both ends to Ammunition Pouches and then they wear it around their neck. As for rest of the gear, in most cases they did not carry with them to action Entrenching Tool, and Gas Mask Canister only rarely. They fight against partisans mostly in mountain-like terrain and in forests, as such, there was not so much place to dig trenches and partisans mostly did not carry gas or chemicals with them. They did however carry wery often special backpack for a mountain troops (GEBIRGSJÄGER RUCKSACK). https://www.1944militaria.com/product_p/orgjruck4.htm
And they used different boots, for mountain troops. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-German-Wehrmacht-Gebirgsjager-boots-Original-/331783436364 Also there is photo of my personal 13.SS Handschar uniform: https://i.imgur.com/XIsa96W.jpg Just to see where everything is supposed to be.
It is wery interesting division, they used verious gear, even some thing from africa corps and they even do a pretty crazy improvisations with all they have, if i try to tell you every combination of gear theyve been using, it will be a book and not a comment :D I know it is already wery long and i dont even think that you will be re-doing everything for my sake. But i just wanted you to know what is wrong with uniforms, so, Thank You! For your time and effort on this mod with so many different troops. I know its not easy.

This is a wonderful reply. I greatly appreciate it. But I must mention this: I only do textures on the uniform, all extra gear is apart of the 'big brother mod' if you want to call it that. As for changing of boots, that is a model issue. It cannot be fixed via retexture, unfortunately. As for the rest, that can be done and will be fixed very soon. Once again, thank you for this reply.

Hello again (and im sorry for second error/report message this day from me :D) when i looked through all units it appears that you use Estonian Waffen SS volunteers 20. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS (estnische Nr. 1) there were practicaly two versions of same unit, first they were only SS Legion - their collar patches by then looks like this: http://www.warbootyonline.com/wbo-images01/y-4568%20021.JPG they, together with Nordland, Nederland and elements from Wallonia defended "Tannenberg Line". From this battle i must recommend to you film named "1944" very historical accurate war film and half of it is from point of view of this Estonian SS Legion.
Anyway, afther this battle they were reorganised to full division, with full name: 20. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS (estnische Nr. 1) then their collar patches changed to this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Estonian_Division.jpg or just a little bit different manufactured versions: http://www.mourningtheancient.com/truth27c2bm11bb55b2l5ff.jpg that is pretty much only difference between them. Their Sleeve national shields were still same. But, much same as Handschar, both - Legion and Division did not have sleeve cuffs with name of their division. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b5/2c/30/b52c30ce550c35cd966e0c39d68c186f.jpg
http://www.dws-xip.pl/reich/waffen/20_1.jpg
http://www.mourningtheancient.com/truth27c2bm11bb55b2.jpg
So if you wanted, you can include both versions of Estonian volunteers, pretty much all you have to do is to change their collar patches.

Just now i realise there is one error in this units. You allways includes aroud 5-6 varitations of uniforms for each Division. And in every pack of uniforms there is one uniform that belongs to Sturmmann rank (due to collar patches). Their Rank marking looks like this: On their collar patches http://www.epicmilitaria.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/k/sku1830web1.jpg This you have correct. But they also wear another patch on sleeves: https://www.militarytour.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/g/e/german_waffen_ss_sturmann_rank_chevron.jpg and that on units in this retextured uniforms is missing. There were in ranks of Waffen SS also one more rank that was pretty much in every single unit of 10 men. It was called Rottenführer they were leaders of this units, their collar patches: https://militaria-net.co.uk/images/ss-rottenfuhrer-collar-tabs.jpg their Patches on sleeve: http://www.germanmilitaria.com/WaffenSS/photos/S026174thumb.jpg If Rottenführer died, then Sturmmann was mostly second in command. Rottenführer is not yet included in this mod uniforms, due to its importance it can be good addition in the future. Patches on uniforms were like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/e2/d8/dce2d8c704c4391f8d509941d587da6d.jpg or like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/9d/fe/4f9dfe571a0ac5f25be85299019e5984.jpg it most likely depends where every single soldier originaly have their national shield patches sawed, upper or lower.

And after search and discussions with colleagues. 33. Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS „Charlemagne“ (französische Nr. 1) and 28. SS-Freiwilligen Panzergrenadier Division „Wallonien“ both divisions should have normal SS runes on their collar patches. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5b/24/60/5b246053c2324237af1b28825a4ce7f6--rare-images-rare-pictures.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4c/ba/e0/4cbae0b86ad6d23bb639dc7962310de7--political-leaders-the-witch.jpg On this photo is Léon Joseph Marie Degrelle SS-Standartenführer der Reserve most famous member of division „Wallonien“, notice he even have edelweiss on his right sleeve, some veterans of this division have them, because at one point they were on same operation in mountains with one gebirgsjäger division. Survivors of this operation most likely received them. As for symbol of this division (two sticks crossed) they have flags, even markings on vehicles, but there is only one disputable photo with different collar patches that may or may not belong to member of Wallonien division - this: https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/first_scum/20337896/119595/119595_640.jpg but nobody seems to know for sure who it is and if he even was in Wallonien division or somewhere else.
As for „Charlemagne“ there is not so many photos, but i know from reenactors who are interested in this division, that they really carry only runes, germans wanted to give them own special collar patches, it should be a sword of Joan of Arc, but sadly, war ended before it happen, so they wear only basic runes SS till the end.

And even more sadly, although it was already manufactured, „Charlemagne“ did not receive even their divisional sleeve cuffs. They were already made, but they did not make it to them.
Divisional sleeve shields also looks little bit different. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4b/ec/0d/4bec0dfbb44c1b1a9e202be18ba0fb6d--ww-pictures-german-uniforms.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1e/41/07/1e4107fbb8726939ca8d1183d1d5990f--berlin--german-soldier.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1e/41/07/1e4107fbb8726939ca8d1183d1d5990f--berlin--german-soldier.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7a/e0/05/7ae005ea3a92f628fde0005dbd97dfae--wwii-waffen.jpg That sleeve shield with "FRANCE" on it was issued to Wehrmacht division made from France volunteers.
Sorry for all this text, i know its too much. :-/

Additional update in positions of National shields and ranks on sleeves, on panzergrenadier history forum is this picture, it looks like that positions depends on years early/late war. Most likely this rules were applied for every volunteer division and because some divisions were made in late war (Handschar, Estonian division etc) then there is only one variation of National sleeve patch position visible on all photos with them. http://www.panzergrenadier.net/forum/download/file.php?id=7809&sid=5c2e54912cd6afd1bb5afb9861b503db

I hate to be critical, but I believe the helmet runes are a bit too elongated and skinny. Here is a reference image.[www.warhats.com]

And here is yours for comparison.
