In 1943, during WW2, when the Italian Government surrendered to the Allies and turned against Germany, units like 1.SS Pz. Division LSSAH, 3. Pz. Grenadier Division and numerous Fallschirmjaeger units returned to Germany with vast amounts of Italian camouflage cloth. This cloth was used by these units and the German military clothing industry to produce regulation clothing. There are many surviving fotos that show this camouflage material was used on numerous different "custom" made uniform items. It seems by far the most common mass produced item to use this camouflage was the second pattern fur lined parka. This item was issued to both SS and Heer units in the winter of 1943 and 1944. On the divisional level it seems that many divisional and kompanie tailors manufactured Tarnblusen and Tarnhosen for the men in their respective kompanies. It would seem the units responsible for removing the material from Italy in 1943 retained a large amount of the clothing for thier use. There are numerous pictures of men from 1. SS Pz. Division LSSAH wearing uniform items made from the captured Italian camouflage cloth. When many Officers and NCO's of the division were transfered to 12. SS Pz. Division Hitlerjugend, they took their camouflage uniforms over the the new division.
The Italian camouflage cloth was also used in the manfacture of the distinctive triangular shaped German WW2 zeltbahn. Instead of having a single seam like zeltbahnen made from the wider widths of German camouflage material, the zeltbahnen made from the captured Italian material had three vertical seams. One in the middle and one near each bottom corner.
After the end of the war, The italian government continued to produce camouflage material for their military with the same pattern until the early 1990's. Although the pattern was the same, the fabric and colors used in the post war camouflage differs greatly from its WW2 counterpart.
