Bad pictures, but i think interesting anyways:
German winter camo helmets on the Eastern front in North Norway/Finnland.
Found in this german documentation, which completly consists of org. WW2 footage from Finnland, Norway and Sweden.
The exact moving footage of the helmets is at arround min 52.

Also regarding the Camo Tiger, i have found this information, no gurantee it is correct though:
Pz. VI Ausf E Tiger I #133 of s.Pz.Abt 101, 1.Kompanie, 3.Zug, 3rd vehicle, commanded by SS-Oberscharführer Fritz Zahner passes the Hotel du Lion d'Or in the Rue André Carpentier, Morgny, Normandy. June 8 1944
Attached to 1st SS Division "Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler," Schwere SS Panzer Abteilung 101 had thirty-seven Tiger Is operational and eight under repair on June 1, 1944.
The Battalion moved from Beauvais in Northern France on June 7 to near Caen on June 12.
The next day, elements of 2.Kompanie stopped the British advance on Caen in the Battle of Villers-Bocage.
By July 3, 1.Kompanie had three Tiger Is remaining.
SS-Oberscharführer Fritz Zahner was commanding a Tiger 2 with s.Pz.Abt. 503 during the Battle of the Bulge (no further info)
Above is supposedly the same place now.
