    Duck hunter camo worn by the Wehrmacht!?

    Are there pics known by duck hunter camo items worn by Wehrmachts members?

    Thanks and best regards

    Only helmet covers made from captured US parachutes in GI duck hunter camo...and scarves no doubt from the same material.
    If your question pertains to uniforms: US Duck hunter camo uniforms (which were worn in limited quantities during D day by US forces) would not have changed sides...No way!
    I highly doubt captured stocks (if any) would have been pressed into service...Wearing the opponents uniform is not a good idea!

      If you are referring to this image, well in my view it is staged...and the "SS sniper" is wearing British Ammo boots with large cleats.
      The 2nd image is a much more interesting period image!

        Not a chance that its real...Propaganda...."mottle pattern" coveralls are in fact borrowed US ones for this staged capture...

          But look at that SS helmet

          I wonder where that is today because it looks like the Tommy has his name on it ?

          No dodgy Champagne air-brush runes on that one,

            Interesting to see that the tommy keeping jerry covered has a cheekpad on his no4 rifle usually only seen on the sniper variant
