"SS use of Italian camouflage?" Topic

I appreciate that the Germans used Italian camo for a variety of clothing late in the war. I have seen images of many officers wearing M style tunics etc as well as a few enlisted soldiers wearing separate tunics/trousers in the said scheme. I'm unsure how prevalent the use of tunic and trousers was amongst low ranked infantry, I did read that the 1st and 12thss divisions used a lot of it. Basically I want to paint a bunch of units wearing tunics and trousers in Italian camo (shoulder boards removed), is this realistic?

As I recall there was a pretty broad issue of Italian camo to Luftwaffe and 12th SS but also to other units including Panzer units – apparently some as far afield as the Eastern Front – the link below has photos suggesting that the squadies were in fact issued a lot of Italian pattern tunics and trousers

Is this of some use:

Lots of Italian pattern camo later in the war, so paint away, Approx one third of my camo late war Germans are in Italian pattern.

I don't see why not. The Germans used anything Italian that could be put to use.

The Germans snagged lots of it and the tooling to produce it after the Italians bailed out of the axis in 43.

Thank you the replies everyone. I painted a couple of figures with Italian camouflage and really liked how it came out, now I can paint a whole batch of them. :-)
