Bundeswehr TruVsu 1976

[Collectinsteve]

Since I have the pics already taken and online this is an easy post to make for a guy who should really be working now instead of "playing"!

BW Truppenversuch 76 Sägezahnmuster


BW Truppenversuch 76 Punkttarnmuster


BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn A (Klein)


BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn B (Groß)


BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn C (Schattentarn)


Model C is actually Model A but in very dark colors. Really no point in wasting all that money on printing to get such a subtle effect!

If you notice Model B is in a different cut than the others, which are all in standard contemporary Moleskin cut. In 1984 another trial was conducted with gray garments and some of the features from Model B were used. This eventually went on to become the c. 1986 3rd Model Moleskin uniform which was used until Flecktarn was issued.

Steve,

I was going to ask you to post your Truppenversuch 76 stuff. I have never been lucky enough to buy any but I have several Truppenversuch items from other years. I know the BW is always testing new uniforms but there seems to be more activity in some specific years than in others. And that makes sense as well. Someday perhaps we can start a thread devoted just to items that were trialed and never adpoted. That is something close to my heart.

Regards,

Gordon
