CAMOUFLAGE & DIORAMAS

With protection of the individual soldier in mind, the German army introduced a camouflage tent material in the early 1930s. It was the second army in the world to incorporate this idea into production. The material presented a brown, green and tan p
rinted fabric which , in principle, would blend with the landscape. Originally, the Italian army created the first brightly colored camouflage tent in 1929. It should be noted that the design, model, and shape of this material was not modified until
1982.
From 1935 the Waffen SS operated its own sphere of camouflage. Various designs were created by a celebrated German artist. All of the original models were reversible from summer to fall colors.
