Not original white camo, looked like it was painted yesterday. Jacques

I saw this one on ebay, but I'm not a huge fan of the "faded" grey portraits. Very odd camo tho for sure

PZV posted a set of photos in a thread on here before with a group of soldiers with similar snow camo.

Indeed he did Mousey (although I'm having trouble finding the link...please post if found)...there is a (very) good posibility that this individual photo was at one time part of, or associated with, PZV's "Zebra Camo" photo set...

The linked photo's all smack of re-enactors. There is something wrong about the images. Just cannot put my finger on it. Too clean? Too well fed?

Just my thougts aswell. "Action" pictures and clean white clothing?? All helmets are clean also. Perhaps a new group of soldiers who just arrived at the front and just received their clothing and new freshly painted helmets.

They're not 'front' photos but training photos so quite natural to see clean kit that hasn't been worn for weeks or months.


The camouflage pattern on the helmet is pretty good considering the silver birch wooded environment, you'd want to break up solid white like that.

Simon is correct with his observations / comments i.e. training photos...the photos in PZV's Album are unquestionably legitimate.

*** I also posted this thread in the WAF's Helmet Section ...if you wish to see a white helmet winter combat photo, I think you'll enjoy the SS Sniper photo posted there by another WAF member:
