    Default NVA transition from "Flächentarn" to "Strichtarn" camouflage from 1965 to 1969.

    Hi everyone, "Flächentarn" (pattern camouflage) was introduced in 1958 & was manufactured until 1967.
    It was replaced by the "Strichtarn" (raindrop or needle pattern camouflage) starting in 1965 & was completed by the end of 1969.
    It's very possible that both pattern were used at the same time as seen here with Stiff. Enjoy

    The "Flächentarn" jacket hood could be used as an helmet cover,
    a folding face mask was part of it.
    Looked great on paper, both were inconvenant in reality!

    Stiff was issued a new webbing.
    Note the magazines (x4) pouch in the new pattern.

    He received a back pack in the new "Strichtarn" pattern but still have
    the "Flächentarn" RPD drum magazines (x2) ammo pouch hook on it.

    Ready to use it.

    Or could be transported alone on the back

    Within the next few months Stiff will received everything to complete the transition.
    Hope you enjoyed.

    Default Load bearing system the Swiss way: M70 jacket & pants.

    Hi folks, let see that marvel of Swiss ingenuity.

    This reinforced jacket was designed to carry rifle magazines in the chest section,
    the bottom part as multiple large pockets front & back for everything else!
    The elbows & knees sections have waterproof protection.

    The hood fits over the helmet & a face veil can
    be unfolded for extra camouflage.

    A small backpack, part of the system can be easily attached to the jacket.
    The camo pattern is the TAZ 57 also named Alpenflage,
    it's a direct descendant of the German WW 2 Leibermuster pattern.

    Suspenders help to spread the weight of heavy loads.
    Seen here is the M71 helmet that replaced the older M18/63.
    The shirt he wears is part of the simplified uniforms introduced in 1983.

    The helmet can be clipped temporary on the jacket.

    Thank you, Al.
    I think you could say that Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) uniforms are mostly derived from WW2 German prototypes: no single item on this mannequin would have been out of place on an end-of-war Wehrmacht or Polizei soldier, and I suppose that such a BGS uniform, although it would have looked a little odd, would have been nonetheless immediately identifiable as a regular German one during the last phases of WW2. Even the FAL mag pouches follow the pattern of WW2 K98k ones...

    Default Yugoslavian M87 & M89 camouflage pattern.

    The M87 small oak leaf pattern was tested by reconnaissance units of the Yugoslavian
    63rd Airborne Brigade and some military police units between 1986 and 1988.
    It was never officially adopted. This is this jacket's pattern.

    The M89 oak leaf pattern entered into usage with the JNA in 1990.
    This is a M89 pattern helmet cover, simply an enlarge M87 pattern.
    The cover's red star vanished quickly afterward.

    The M59 helmet was never used in airborne operation. Displayed for comparing both pattern.

    Slovenia's M91 oakleaf pattern is a M87 pattern with different colours. Have a look.

    Hi Jon
    Great, it looks good, I admire it, but the last photo will probably look better after the correction
