What SS camo did the Herman Goering Division have?


You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

Why would it be a trick question?
I'd ask on Pst! There are some guys who do/did HG Div.

Type 1 Plane Tree smocks and Helmet covers. Only issued to *very* limited elements of the HG Division, and replaced pretty damn quickly with the usual LW FD Camo jacket.

SS camo zelts were not uncommon across the whole FD structure, though. Still, wouldn't catch me in it - Splinter all the way! :D

...but of course, I might be portraying a *very* limited element....! :whistle:

Anyway, it's on the cover of the Osprey book, so it must be true! :tongue:

There's a really good illustration in the militaria histoire and collections book on german soldiers showing a HG guy in lufty blues and early pattern ss smock.

But if the rule is no ss camo then its time to dig out the feldgrau guys!

Is it kit for Husky you are thinking of Andy?
By then HGD was a Panzer Div - blues, feldgrau, tropicals or black would be fine, splinter smocks/zelts if you want camo.

I have that book if Herr Steiner wants a scan - can do that in the morning?

Not necessarily Husky....

Certain elements were issued it in 42 for North Africa and Italy. By 43 they were reissued with splittertarn. Apart from a few rogue elements, who also wore their hair long....
