Hi Steve: Thanks. Th...Thank you for your comments.<br /><br />Hi Steve: Thanks. This camo was in use since the beginning of the war. I have "copy/pasted" some info.<br /><br />Text from http://www.germanmilitaria.com/WaffenSS/photos/S024564.html<br /><br />"S024564 FIRST PATTERN PLANE TREE CAMOUFLAGE HELMET COVER. (Stahlhelmbezüge)<br /><br />BACKGROUND: The development of SS camouflage items was initiated by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in 1935 when he tasked the Reichsführung-SS, (National Leadership of the SS), to begin research of new camouflage patterns and garments for use by the fledgling SS-VT, SS-Verfugüngstruppe, (SS-Special Purpose Troops). In late 1936 and early 1937 the first SS camouflage garments were issued to personnel of the SS-VT Standarte Deutschland for field testing and evaluation. The first items evaluated were the Quarter shelters/ponchos, followed by steel helmet covers, face masks and smocks. As the war continued various other clothing items were produced in the assorted camouflage patterns. Originally the camouflage patterns were all produced in the time consuming manual screen printing until the development of the machine roller printing in 1940."<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br /><br />EinarOlafsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649565493777035186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615834935109225422.post-77111109693101094172012-11-02T12:52:16.916+00:002012-11-02T12:52:16.916+00:00VERY nice... would they have worn that style of c...VERY nice... would they have worn that style of camo from the beginning of the war???
