Hi Rene just a one off question has nothing to do with this cover helmet but I am curious to know if I may ask what is this splinter pattern?
Hi Rene just a one off question has nothing to do with this cover helmet but I am curious to know if I may ask what is this splinter pattern?
From what I can see it's the standard army 32 pattern.
Appreciate that Rene is this other one the same as mine that is the ones I posted is it correct to call the ones I entered Splinter tarn?
This one could be the air force variant?
While I await to receive the cover helmet I continue searching for information that may be useful to this thread have found this very brief document which I considered could be interesting
Following my previous thread correct me if I am wrong the tan water pattern was not used for shelter fabrics whereas the standard army splinter ones did? And since the last one was very common covers could be made out of zeltbahn fabrics, then what would be the point of ruining some tan water tunics, smocks etc to make a cover?
To me it just doesn’t make any sense. So I could only reach this conclusion as Wilmore kindly showed from a paragraph of Peterson s book ‘Some of the best fake Wehrmacht camouflage uniforms have been made from this BGS material, most notably helmet covers’ since finding war period tan and water material would not be that easy as with the standards army one?
Hi jamoros,
Here is a very basic guide to the various camouflage patterns used during the war.

Covers could be made from the parka hoods and other damaged clothing items
Here is another example of post-war Tan Water Pattern, it’s a hood.
I have the rest of the uniform somewhere.
