German Sumpfmuster 44 CAMO

Sumpfmuster 44 Camo was a WWII-era camouflage pattern developed for the Wehrmacht, introduced in 1944 as a refinement of the earlier Sumpfmuster 43 (Swamp Pattern). Designed for woodland, marshland, and temperate environments, this pattern featured irregular, blurred patches of green and brown over a tan base, enhancing concealment in forests and grassy terrain. It was primarily used on Zeltbahn (tent ponchos), camouflage smocks, and field gear, issued to Heer (Army) units, Luftwaffe ground troops, and some Waffen-SS divisions. The pattern was effective in both spring and autumn landscapes, making it one of Germany’s most adaptable late-war camouflages. Post-war, Sumpfmuster designs influenced camouflage patterns in East Germany (NVA) and other European militaries. The version of Sumpfmuster 44 Camo featured on CAMO HQ is inspired by this historical German military design, preserving its distinctive aesthetic while adapting it for collectors, reenactors, and commercial applications.
