Johannes Posted June 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2007 During the ETO, did the US soldiers wear snow camouflage (trousers and jacket)? If yes, which units or just everyone who could get it. If no, where did the US soldiers wear the snow camouflage? Probably in Northern Europe. Does anyone got any pictures of US soldiers wearing snow camouflage during WWII?

Jeeper704 Posted June 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2007 Men of the 7th AD and some of the 82nd AB (325th GIR) wore snow camouflage uniforms during The Bulge.I am sure there were other units too, I think mostly units which entered the battle in January 1945.Here a few examples;7th AD - 23rd AIB, Hunnange - January 1945GI on the right.Patrol of the 82nd AB (325th GIR?)Mix of snow camo uniforms and improvised snow camo.82nd AB - 325th Glider Infantry Regiment (GIR).Also a mix of both.Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
