Unusual camo smock on period magazine cover

[Jolly Roger]

Hi,

I found this magazine today. The description says it is a Fallschirmjäger but the smock looks like an SS cut piece. I have never seen this sort of camo scheme. Has anyone seen that before or knows what it is?

Best regards

Looks like hand applied....

I am thinking its period photographer cleaned up -painted.

Not a hand painted pattern.

Its got a wide box placket so looks like an early jacket.
Could be a block.

Thanks for posting....its one I have never seen before.

Hi,

yes, the picture was "reworked" by the newspaper.

Illustrierte Beobachter N°26, 26 Juni 1941.
