I would say that the explanation is a bit broader than just uniformsmft004 wrote: ↑28 May 2021 18:35I'd say the answer to the forum question is pretty simple: it's the camo uniforms, or at least what the uniforms represent - effective but unadulterated adaptation.
We respect the Wehrmacht's ability to take on basically the rest of the world and nearly pull the feat off. But the camo uniforms largely used by the W-SS was an act of putting aside traditional ideas for a military force and working with the surrounding situation to achieve victory. The camo patterns weren't as smart or dashing as Feldgrau covered in medals and shoulderboards... but staying alive and unseen got the job done.

I am still unclear as to what you are referring specifically, but your point is well made.
Thanks for conferring a knighthood on me, but my name is "Sid" not "Sir"!
All the best,
Sid.
Strange to post this 2 months after the discussion stopped.Der Rittmeister wrote: ↑28 May 2021 17:46I advise you Sir Guttridge and Aida1 to keep the discussion civilized to prevent this good topic to be taken down. Its not worth attacking each other personally. The discussion and debate you are having are at the end of the day contributing to finding a reasonable explanation based on facts. Debate and good discussion backed by facts should contribute to eliminating different hypothesis/explanations and eventually come to a conclusion. Just identify simply what you disagree on, show the facts and come to a common agreement and move on. Toxic discussion will only damage the very purpose of this forum.

You post, "Strange to post this 2 months after the discussion stopped."
You are aware of the irony that your own post comes two months after the previous one on this thread?
Cheers,
Sid.
