Question for Patrick (or anyone):
I've read on various boards about the use of Italian camo by SS Gebirgs divisions in the Balkans, but I've never encountered a picture.
Anyone have a source of these?
I'm inquiring about a real war-time period photograph. For instance, the Europa Militaria book on SS camo has a re-enactor wearing a full Italian camo uni (Gebirgs windjacket & pants)as a member of the Handschar. The same image was later copied by DML for the Hasan Malnar release.
I've never seen any photos of SS troops sporting Italian camo in that region. I have run across plenty of other formations wearing it, but not specifically Prinz Eugen, Handschar, etc.
Thanks for any help in advance - be it pics, a book, forum or other source.
