The Bundeswehr kept its green combat dress throughout the 1980s, however, while trials were conducted. The word flecktarn is a composite formed from the German words Fleck (spot, blot, patch or pattern) and Tarnung (camouflage). The pattern named "Flecktarn B" was chosen as the final pattern for use. ĭesigned by the German company Marquardt & Schulz, several patterns were developed and tested by the German military. These were based on patterns in nature: one was called "Dots" or "Points" another was called "Ragged Leaf" or "Saw Tooth Edge" another was based on pine needles in winter. At least four distinct camouflage patterns were tested during Bundeswehr Truppenversuch 76 ("Bundeswehr Troop Trial 76"). In 1976, the Bundeswehr in Germany developed a number of prototype camouflage patterns, to be trialled as replacements for the solid olive-grey "moleskin" combat uniform. The original German 5-color flecktarn has been adopted, copied and modified by many countries for their own camouflage patterns. A 3-color variation called Tropentarn (formerly Wüstentarn) is intended for arid and desert conditions the German Bundeswehr wore it in Afghanistan. The original German 5-color pattern was designed for use in European temperate woodland terrain. Flecktarn camouflage woodland fabric swatchįlecktarn ( German pronunciation: " mottled camouflage" also known as Flecktarnmuster or Fleckentarn) is a family of 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-color disruptive camouflage patterns, the most common being the five-color pattern, consisting of dark green, light green, black, red brown and green brown or tan depending on the manufacturer.
