Hi, its unusual to see a U.S soldier wearing camo jacket in Europe, they were worn early on in Normandy but discarded fairly rapidly because of blue on blue incidents. In the minds of most Allied soldiers camo clothing mean't SS or certainly German and those who got the fastest shot in lived to fight another day.

US camo two piece HBT uniforms were worn mainly by the US 41st Armored Infantry Battalion (US 2nd Armored Division). Some units of the US 2nd and 30th Inf Div's might also have worn this uniform albeit briefly.
Cheers, Ade.

Why do you think that they aren't attribuites on 17 SS Panzergrenadier Gotz von Berlichingen, but on the 2nd Panzergrenadier Regiment 3 Deutschland of Das Reich division?
The young SS Officier frinsking by M.P. Lt. Paul Unger is really Kurt Peters, III/Battalion Regiment 37 17 SS Panzergrenadier Gotz von Berlichingen, identify by Jean Claude Perrigault in his book?
Do you have new information about this? I'm finding news about this proud man, but not is so easy!
I can't belive that not is possible to know nothing about the fate of this man!!!
Best regards
Blume
