A good introduction to the subject, concise but fairly comprehensive. I'd object to the term "elite" being applied to the Waffen-SS as a whole. It *might* be applied to the first 12 divisions which were mostly ethnic Germans, but even if one excludes the high-numbered 'foreign legions' which were often of dubious combat value, even the low-numbered ones often showed themselves to be no more or less capable in action than their Army counter-parts. I'm also not sure the SS camo was the "best" as this is subjective. US Army tests found that camo made troops on the move more likely to be seen than those in plain olive drab uniforms, for example, and the value of camouflage obviously varies dependent on the terrain. Those minor points aside, I enjoyed the presentation and I liked that this second part had more of a timeline established for the introduction of the various patterns. Supporting imagery was really good too.
During my first years in the Swiss army, we had a pattern very close to the _Leibermeister_ pattern. We nicknamed it the _Vierfruchtpyjama_ (Four fruits pyjama)
Bundeswehr does an American version of Flecktarn called Multitarn. The biggest flop. It not only hurts German military culture but it’s a downfall since European forest ain’t even that bright. Flecktarn is better than Multitarn
There actually is background music but it’s relatively quiet. It seems to be a bit quieter than normal in this video, so I’ll make sure to turn it up next time.

Post war multi cam /dpm seems is still hit and miss with Constant Introduction of new ideas and forms being issued on regular Bàsis
Excellent video.
Concise but covered all patterns used including the Italian 1929 pattern 👍

Mint video thoroughly enjoyed watching, and ive actually got a replica zeltbahn in reversible oakleaf.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Oak leaf and dot44 are some of my favorite German camouflage patterns.
@@its-antiquitas oakleafs nice because it fits well into the environment around me
I wear an oak leaf smock from At The Front hunting in Virginia . Very effective camouflage !
Cool video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
