Frankly, Owen, I'm more confused now than at the beginning of the discussion. Pizza; Tomato soup; Pakistaní; kebab...hard to follow for us novices who want to learn something new about axis camo..!

Good morning Sal, in my opinion the photo shows young SS grenadiers in training in late '43/ early '44. Following Italy's unilateral armistice with the Allies in September '43 the Germans acquired large stocks of Italian camouflage pattern material which they then used themselves to manufacture parkas, uniforms and one-piece overalls as seen in the subject photograph. Recently there was a thread showing 'Hitlerjugend' troops in Normandy wearing these exact garments and there is another at the moment showing an 'M44' tunic made from this Italian fabric. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=802137

Hope this helps ?

Could it be Beverloo Caserne, in Belgium?
Members of the Hitler Youth trained there prior to the formation 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend.
