Question guys,

Does the SS distributed specific smock camo patterns for specific areas or it doesnt mattered? Like, say, rauchtarn for mountain, eich and palm for russia,...
'Cause i saw a lot of pictures of SS men in bastogne with palmtarn.
Or they just had tot do with the camo patterns they get distributed?

Camo. wasn't area specific... just depended on when and what was available for issue....

Question really belongs in the reenactment section.... but I don't see why it wouldn't be correct as anything else would be...
