Well, we didn’t have Hugo Boss designing our uniforms.

I saw a B&W photo of two GIs holding up a tailored German officer’s tunic showing the SS sleeve patch. The photo was taken during the hedgerow fighting not long after Normandy.
The thing is, they were in really cool camo fatigues. I had never seen them before, close to a Marine pattern from the Pacific theater. In fact it resembled the German ‘flektar’ so I’m wondering if they were having a problem confusing it with the Heine’s and went back to olive drab.
In any event, yeah you’re right. If ‘Bruno’ designed uniforms he’d have been eine gross Deutsche waffen fanboi.
