"SS Camouflage smock alternative patterns?" Topic

Was there ever a variant of the above for desert or mountainous regions? I'm familiar with the greeny-tan variants seen in NWE and the Eastern Front, but I am wondering if there were any other variants.

None that I've seen. The last variant being produced was Leibermuster in 1945 but was issued on a very limited basis to combat units before the war ended. Also, the only Camo listed for use by both Heer & SS combat units.

VonBlucher has it. As far as I am aware, the only camouflage worn in the desert was that of the Fallschirmjager in Brigade Ramcke in North Africa and that was not specifically designed. I suppose the closest to desert camouflage was the faded hot weather uniforms of the DAK itself.

Thanks chaps. I was sort of wondering if the apparent reversibility gave a different scheme on either side but I guess not.

Check out the Herman Goering Division, they apparently wore desert uniforms with camo smocks (looks like spring and fall oak leaf pattern) in Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy.

4th Cuirassier, the smocks were generally speaking reversible but it was usually an spring/autumn sort of combo for European terrain.
