Re: HEER in SS camo ?
maybe 4. SS Polizei Div. in France ?
btw: I noticed on some photos W.SS WH zeltbahns in tents and helmet covers, bit strange. Maybe depended on delivers from stock, lack of own zelts, then when WH and W.SS divisions were deployed nearby ???

When SS Nord was formed they had a large number of Heer Zelt's and there is a photo of a Heer officer in Finland with a cammo smock

The pic is of Heer soldiers in SS camo. Would the 4th SS not have had SS soldiers in their division?Peterth PK wrote:maybe 4. SS Polizei Div. in France ?

But I don't think they are Heer soldiers. If it's France 1940 or Russia 1941 and that's the Polizei Division the insignia is Polizei not Heer. It's difficult to tell from the B&W pictures but I think that police litzen maybe? The Polizei division didn't wear runes until 1942 I think - John?gurowski wrote:The pic is of Heer soldiers in SS camo.

The pic is the pic. You make a judgement on the pic. Its undated and has no location. Its Heer soldats with SS camo. In an army of several million men I am sure the wearing of SS camo happened more than once.grenmartens wrote:But I don't think they are Heer soldiers.

Re: HEER in SS camo ?
From memory, I think the guys in the tropical field caps with SS helmet covers are Brandenburg Kommando.
I have some pics somewhere of SS men wearing Army decalled helmets.
