Hi Torch,

No, it was a little-used Army camouflage. The story goes that American troops in the ETO had come to associate any camouflaged clothing with the Germans, leading to several blue-on-blue incidents.

The cammies did show up with several Army units in the Pacific. The only other major use was Sgt Saunders' helmet in TV's Combat!

Cheers,



Dana
