There is a very interesting thread on the Panzer forum right now.
It deals about the usefulness of being camouflaged for tanks and other mobile units. It really pushes forward the notion that not being noticed for just a few seconds (because of camouflage) will most likely increase your survival and fight back chances.
"Once they understood that the object was to cause that momentary hesitation"...
I am wondering if this also goes for helmets and soldiers. I always had this idea that a camo soldier would safely remain under his camo without being noticed for long periods. I didn't realize that the whole plan was to cause just a momentary hesitation and that a few seconds would make a whole difference.
This is very neat. It really helps to understand german camouflage techniques a little better. Some camo schemes may appear crude and lacking complexity but will serve well to cause a momentary hesitation.
I thought this was neat for us even more because some of our moderators usually point out that camo patterns used in Normandy tend to mirror patterns used in tanks or armored vehicles.
