Still, the camo pattern of the Ostheer grenadiers is historically wrong and they didn't use camo uniforms en masse. There might have been some elite units, that used camo uniforms (very late), but they were a very slim minority.

The regular troops of the Heer (land army), with the exclusion of the tank forces (black uniforms), used the typical field grey uniforms up until the very end of the war.

The one on the Stormtroopers is actually quite realistic. The units that come closest to it are the Stormtroopers and the Obersoldaten, which both have camo uniforms. There is no Waffen SS in this game - for good reason. Those were the Waffen SS and the Fallschirmjäger (para troopers). In the German army only two units (and snipers) regularly used camo uniforms. The tent sheets later were improvised as a camo overlay for the normal uniform.

They were mostly used for tents and other things.

because some camo patterns were invented early doesn't mean they were used early. Originally posted by USA - RIP 1776-2024:My dude if you're going to try and 'gotcha' me with wiki links then at least look at the right ones:
