History  and Info

The Waffen SS Peadot  camouflage  drill uniforms were introduced in 1944. A two  piece uniform  that was issued  to replace  the  M42  smock.  All other  camouflage  was to be  discontinued  according  to  directive 99.  The uniform  was made from a heavy  herring bone twill  and  single  sided. But a less  common version  was made from cotton.  The  field  tunic  was  M43  style  with  four  straight pockets and five  metal pebbled  buttons .  The inside  was  a  rough  white  colour with  a partial  rayon ( artificial silk) liner.  Belt  suspenders  were  also included.  The only insignia permitted  was  a  grey SS sleeve  eagle. But many period photos  show  officers   with  shoulder boards  and runic SS collar  tabs attached.
