Interestingly, I saw a TV documentary recently on a Waffen SS division in France after the allied landings. The documentary was in colour and the men were wearing green camouflage uniforms and also camouflage covers on their helmets, which looked very similar to modern camo clothing,

Yeah I believe it started off as a version called Splittermuster, and then after that the SS used various different kinds of camo, almost a flecktarn look, but don't quote me on that.

Everyone hears "SS" and immediately thinks of the totenkopf black uniform. Waffen SS wore field uniform same (or at least similar to) the rest of the army.

Well I went to my first night games last night, had a blast until 3 guys in the other time broke out the full on night vision goggles!
Met a cracking lot of guys!

I used the hire camo overalls at Rift and they were actually pretty decent. Impressed with being able to wade through scores of stinging nettles and not feel a thing.Indeed.
