Well the title says it all really. I just wondered if the SS were issued Splinter Camo as well, because I wanted to use my 352nd Volksgrenadiers kit in a scene in Hungary, and I wasn't sure if that would be historically accurate.

The SS had their own camo and suppliers. The only time I have heard of SS men using splinter camo was the Paratroop battalion, using the 'Bonesack'. Even then it was Luftwaffe splinter, not Heer. But then again, at this late stage in the war, they were literally wearing anything they could get their hands on!
Hope this helps,

Yeah the SS Fallschirmjager were the only ones I knew of too.

Hmm... I'll figure out a way to make it work hahaha

Thanks
