The Splittermuster CAMO patterns, available on CAMO HQ, originated in Germany during the 1930s, making it one of the earliest standardized military camouflage designs. First developed for the Wehrmacht, this pattern featured sharp, angular "splinter" shapes in earthy greens and browns, with a distinctive rain pattern overlay to help break up outlines in woodland and urban environments. After World War II, Splittermuster influenced post-war camouflage designs, with variations appearing in the militaries of Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland, each modifying the pattern for their specific terrain and operational needs. While later replaced by digital and multi-terrain camo, Splittermuster remains an iconic and historically significant pattern, still favored by reenactors, collectors, and camo enthusiasts. The Splittermuster CAMO collection on CAMO HQ includes classic reproductions and modern adaptations, preserving the legacy of one of the most influential military camouflage designs in history.
