Hey guys I'm going to start painting some of my Germans, and I wanted to ask if anyone knows what camo did non SS panzergrenadiers wore in Normandy?

I know they had camo helms and zeltbahn, but did they have camo parks, trousers and blouses?

What minis are you painting. That will make a difference, some officer models may be wearing smock that you can paint in camo colours. Trousers will be field grey as will the tunic. I think it wasn't until the end off 1944 that the new cut tunic was coming out in camo.

I could be wrong and probably am, I'm sure Big p will read this and jump in with the correct info for you.

Well the new plastic panzer grenadier are begging to be painted with camo, when I start building mine they are being done as ss, mixing them with some metal ss figures that have camo smocks. The older ones id stay away from painting camo on their uniforms maybe get some heads with helmet covers that you can add camo to.

To smoother your researches, you'd better determine in which period and seasoned they fought, as camo takes huge influences from this. Otherwise, german uniform were very numerous as far as colour pattern... I'll try my best to find interesting stuff out.

Non-SS camo smocks generally came in Splinter and 'Marsh' (or 'Tan & Water' depending how you want to describe it) patterns.

They were never that widespread and always remained reasonably rare compared to using Zeltbahns.

Heer smocks were a different cut to Waffen-SS smocks.
