"CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS OF THE GERMAN WEHRMACHT" WW2 CAMO SMOCK CAP REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The elite German Waffen-SS troops of WW2 were the first units ever issued their own distinctive camouflage uniforms. Their thoroughly researched, well developed, and specially designed smocks, zeltbahns, and helmet covers proved so effective that it led to the adoption of camouflage uniforms and headgear throughout the German army. Splinter pattern, "sumpfmuster", and the later "leibermeister" unified pattern intended for both army and Waffen-SS troops influenced camouflage design for decades to come. Camouflage uniforms of the German Wehrmacht have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Werner Palinckx and Dr. J.F. Borsarello to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2002. This "CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS OF THE GERMAN WEHRMACHT" WW2 CAMO SMOCK CAP REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured).
