2nd Armored Normandy question
Posted by gringe88 on Wednesday, February 15, 2006 8:04 PM

I'm looking for resources (online preferably) of the camoflouged uniform worn by some units of the 2nd Armored Division during the Normandy campaign.  I'm not sure of the exact colors used in the camo, or the exact cut.  could anyone please give me a heads up to some info?  I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks

I think it's just the standard HBT camo combat uniform of the period, used primarily, but not exclusively, by the Marines.

 A tan base with a dark green and a red brown should work fine.

EDIT~
 Ah yes, looking at the links that philip posted, that would do it, though there's also that lighter brown/OD splotch, and you also have the option of the winter reverse side with the reddish-purple base..
