Hi Christian,
Wow that is an interesting helmet cover.
Not so sure this is Oak pattern. I dont recognize any of the "twig" looking pieces from an Oak pattern.

There is a part of the Palm pattern that does have these twig looking pieces of artwork. This part of the pattern is on the side of the fabric so shows up on the sleeves when the sleeve just happens to be cut to include that part of the pattern so its not common to see. I have included a palm sleeve shot to give you an idea for comparison

There is a good possiblity it isnt Palm either - It could be an early type of SS-VT pattern like the Verigated Leaf but it so difficult to tell from the photo.

Do you know when the photo was taken - can you show the whole photo?
Cheers

I feel sorry for that mule, IMO he at least deserved a KVK with swords for his back breaking work for the SS

Nice looking cover and interesting photo

I would suggest that the helmet cover is one of the Oak variants (Oak A?) with a poor angle of photo and sun washout. If you look at it you can see the basic design resembles the Oak types and you can also see the different colours on it, they are just faded out in the photo. A reasonable example of why I say this is in the 'Camouflaged Uniforms of the Waffen SS, Part one' by Borsarello and Lassus in photo 17.

In photo 17 the tilt of the head, the angle of the light and the use of black and white film has faded out a number of the colours at the front of the helmet cover just leaving the very dark colours visible.

I could easily be wrong of course and am happy to be corrected.
