I take it you wish to know the best camo face paint and how to get it off ?

Basically the German Army in WW2 didn't use face paint unfortunately, the pics you
have probably seen like this one below was just burnt cork or soot that was used,
usually only for night operations but the 12th SS/HJ were known to have blackened their
faces especially in the Normandy campaign during the day time as this well known pic
shows.
