Splinter

Geometric camouflage pattern. Used by the German Wehrmacht during WW2. Later used by Sweden, Bulgaria etc.

• The original WW2 German splinter camouflage patterns are seen here.

• A French pattern, reputedly dating to 1935, also incorporated "splintered" elements, but lacking the rain strait theme.

• During the 1950s and 1960s primarily, Germany produced several variations of the WW2 era Splittermuster designs. These patterns were issued both to the Bundesgrenzschutz (Federal Border Guards) and the Bundeswehr (German Army), although the Army versions were produced in greater numbers.

• Bulgaria has produced several patterns based on the WW2 German Splittermuster

• Swedish M90 camouflage pattern

• WW2 German zeltbahn sewn into a M44 style uniform
