This one has to be one of the best ones,,,the white patches on it replicate the sun shine on leaves etc,,,,goes to show the Krauts got it right back then.
This is the first video I have not been able to pick you out in a single cut. Best camo I've seen so far for your area. The colors are perfect for the light patches and dark patches from the sun shining through the trees breaking up the sunlight.
It never seems to amaze me how often we think new is better. This proves that all the billions of dollars spent on modern military camo could have been saved if only designers just when back to the original ideas. Thanks for making the video Brent.
The Germans were ahead of their time with camo, especially in employing it in such numbers as they did. One of my personal favourites because it not only works great but is very aesthetically appealing. I have a ww2 repro German padded uniform in this and I love it
This camouflage pattern done really well. I didn't think it would at first,but it was hard to find in the video. Reminds me of the predator camouflage all the sharp angles in it.
This stuff is great. One thing that separates this pattern from so many others is the inclusion of large light-colored areas. It really does help immensely in breaking up the human shape by avoiding the "dark blob" issue that effects so many other patterns. Modern civilian patterns that use this technique to great effect are ASAT and Predator.
Great video brother. Couldn't believe how well you blended at 6:48 when fired your rifle. Lol hardly any vegetation in front of you. I still didn't see you until you looked your head up. Another great pattern by the Gerrys
There were many derivatives of it and you can definitely see the influence its had on numerous patterns through the years. I'm working on trying to pick up a Bulgarian version of the pattern that was used during the cold war years.
@@fokinsnipahs9823 No, they rearanged the colors in some way, thats it. Just have this German wiki for it.... But is saw them here on some collector markets
High Brent, first when i saw this german splinter, i thought, that it does not work. Now i have seen, that it works on different brightness too. Kindly Fiete
Makes you wonder how they lost WWII. Dang... ANOTHER great pattern from the Krauts. Nice balance of dark and light shades. Thanks Devil Dog... keep 'em comin'. :-)
Shitty decisions up top, infrastructure and manufacturing bombed to dirt, high maintenance equipment that was few and far between, and crappy logistucs. Thats my guess.
Mazer Rackham we are still masters of camouflage! The "Flecktarn" patern is very effective in both variants Greenland and dessert. The next patern that will be introduced to the Bundeswehr is a new version of Flecktarn called "Multitarn", it provides very good camouflage in different environments.
I use Flecktarn quite a bit myself and find it quite excellent - what I meant was, that the Germans seemed to pioneer a lot of this stuff when conventional military thinking seemed to be khaki, khaki or khaki ;)
@jeanluc305 they copy like every body else. The inventer doesn't always take the credit but those who put it into effective use will take the credit as well or even more perfect the technology.
Surprisingly the SS found this pattern to be ineffective and therefore created it's own. It was also no doubt a way to differentiate them from the Heer.
This is the only pattern i could not pick up with my eye even when i rewind it,i really think this pattern will be one of the best camo patterns to use in south africa
Once again great video,,, I now have an arid Flector shirt with coat... the Splinter camo will be next on my list can't wait to show my friends keep up the good work stay safe
It's a good camo pattern, like most of the German stuff. One thing to note; since you operate in an environment with a lot of bright green foliage, the SS had another pattern called 'Palm Tree' (Palmenmuster) that would REALLY work well in your AO.
I've watched about a dozen of your videos since discovering this channel two days ago. Looks to me like prone position makes whatever camo pattern more effective. I've not detected anyone in prone.
This camo is amazing. Very simple, very early(and therefore destined for unperfection) and yet usually extremelly effective. Although I did manage to find this camo the easiest to find(apart from camo non-matching to environment, and of course, I haven't seen all camo patterns so I can only compare with: multicam, vz95, vz60, swiss leibermuster, digital, flecktarn, oakleaf, tiger and rauchtarn) during airsoft. Unless it's very sunny, or unless it's in rocky area, it can be a bit too bright.
I was really excited to see you did Splinter. It's a really cool looking pattern and I've always wondered how effective if would be. It did very well. Swedish M90 has a lot of influence from this pattern, it seems, in terms of angular shapes.
I was only able to quickly spot you only about 3 times in this video I almost spotted you around the second time you shot, I thought you looked a little off but I couldn't tell that it was you or if you were just a log! I can confidently say that most of the time you were basically invisible! That's some insanely good camo for your area dude.
Just very interesting, I think. If one compare this pattern to the Belgian Brush Stroke pattern, they both work really really well, but the philosophy and "construction" of the patterns are quite different with color choice and the shape of the colored areas. These small "rainy" lines are common though. But they do the job really good as said, I think, but with a different approach.
The two or three times i was able to pick up the location was due to the distinctive shape of the cap. a couple branches attached to it would solve that.
Did you ever think about doing a video giving your thoughts on the cammo? The view from a camera is different than the naked eye. Thanks for the videos. I really like them. Except for that mosquito, that think hurt my ears like the real life ones do. Drive me crazy.
Ha, I know, I hate the damn skeeters too. I gotta put up with them, ticks and chiggers in the spring/summer time. That's the best part about filming during the winter time, none of those damn things out there. In regards to my opinions, I try to be unbiased about the patterns in the videos. Therefor I leave my opinion out of these videos generally and leave it up to the viewers.
Mil-Tec makes lower quality stuff, for very friendly price, though. Thing with their splinter camo stuff is you have to "break it in". Multiple washings will make the colors contrast a bit less, making that pattern even more effective.
Any chance of doing the other Wehrmacht pattern, Sumpfmuster?(Tan/water in english) It's more brown based than this one so it may be better to wait until the foliage dies though.
Hi there, Did you know that the splinter camo B you used in this video only ware used by the German paratroopers ? It is brighter then the normal splinter camo A which was used by the German Wehrmacht infantry.
I think you have a new best camo for your area during this period. Seems practically invisible at times. Starting to think a light khaki or white isn't such a bad thing for woodland with this and klmk being so amazing. edit: Have any interest in getting some North Vietnam camo? Yes I've been playing too much of rising storm 2.
In short... you had fun. Was wondering if I should get a Mil-Tec set just like this one as they are easy to find around here... or if I should get an autumn oak pattern one... which Mil-Tec don't produce anymore so gonna be harder to get that one. This one works... amazingly well, didn't expect it to be this good.
Thanks for this great Video , you are the only guy i guess has proven all Camos around , in several scenarios , what about urban camos? Any plans for that ?
Thanks man. I don't have access to a urban environment to do the kind of filming I would want to do for something like that. So the short answer is no, but you never know what the future could bring.
Great video. Very well done. Hey Brent where do you find these camo jackets and pants? Been able to find the flecktarn fairly easy but the other german camo not so much. Any websites to check?
looks very effective, ... those nazis were miles ahead on their use and development of camo patterns, (ive got a quilted reversible suit in a variation of this camo pattern)
i read an article years ago, and in it there was a german complaining about their grey uniforms making them targets. While also pointing out how well the Russian and British khaki tones worked as a base color. (he's lucky he wasn't French and wearing sky blue, lol)
I've heard of it, and how shelter halfs and smocks were issued as a immediate temp measure of helping to conceal their troops, in the pattern in the video too. Yea I've seen colorized pictures of french troops from ww1, if you survived in the trenches long enough that blue would get soaked in mud and brown up hopefully.
Ive seen all your videos, and while this works great, id still say when you wore the east German rain pattern and the plain coyote brown, i simply could not spot you at all.
This one has to be one of the best ones,,,the white patches on it replicate the sun shine on leaves etc,,,,goes to show the Krauts got it right back then.
At least, in the bright sun!
@@matthewb.7172atleast in your mom!
I came to the same realisation after watching this and was going to say that but see you beat me to it by 6 years!
please don't say this^^
It’s crazy how well this old design works so well when compared to today’s patterns, I think today it’s kind of a fashion show with patterns
This is the first video I have not been able to pick you out in a single cut. Best camo I've seen so far for your area. The colors are perfect for the light patches and dark patches from the sun shining through the trees breaking up the sunlight.
funnily enough, it's the only video where i spotted him easily
At 1:47 you almost became invisible. That lightness in the pattern goes well with the light filtering through the canopy.
Somehow german/nordic countries make the best camo.. from WW2 SS to Flecktarn to Splinter, all great camos
Thanks for the video!
Thanks.
battle tested camo.. thats why
It is almost like they are good at engineering or something...
Floof
Cos we have many forests.
Norsk Kamo (Norway), Finnish M05, Swedish M90, Danish M84... they're also really good looking!
It never seems to amaze me how often we think new is better. This proves that all the billions of dollars spent on modern military camo could have been saved if only designers just when back to the original ideas. Thanks for making the video Brent.
I've got a photo of a Grrman soldier in a 4 color oak leaf jacket. 75 years later? Multicam.
one of the best camos ive seen on this channel

Man ! Envy ! May I ;
-where did you get it/tag ?!
👍👍👍
not only ahead with camo^^
The Splinter Pattern still holds it's own after all these years.
Despite being odd-looking it is still effective after over 70 years of being created. Great video once again!
Thanks brother.
This camouflage pattern done really well. I didn't think it would at first,but it was hard to find in the video. Reminds me of the predator camouflage all the sharp angles in it.
This is the father of the swedish M90...

nice demonstration, very impressive pattern. the way they reflect just enough light to blend with the background.
Great video brother. Couldn't believe how well you blended at 6:48 when fired your rifle. Lol hardly any vegetation in front of you. I still didn't see you until you looked your head up. Another great pattern by the Gerrys
Yup, they definitely had some good camouflage patterns during the war. No question.
That is a really good pattern! I'm a little surprised it's not still in use.
There were many derivatives of it and you can definitely see the influence its had on numerous patterns through the years. I'm working on trying to pick up a Bulgarian version of the pattern that was used during the cold war years.
In the early days of the "Bundeswehr" they used a variation of this pattern until they switched to Nato olive. Rare to find today.
@Brent0331
TO CAMOPEDIA!
Yeah, I see what you mean. The pattern has had an interesting history.

Thanks for watching man.
brightness is always a factor and it's something camos like multicam tend to rely on to blend in darker colored foliage
surprisingly well working camo!!! It was hard to find you!
Very effective camouflage pattern. Ty for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Makes you wonder how they lost WWII. Dang... ANOTHER great pattern from the Krauts. Nice balance of dark and light shades.
Thanks Devil Dog... keep 'em comin'. :-)
Good equipment isn´t the only factor to win a war you know.
Shitty decisions up top, infrastructure and manufacturing bombed to dirt, high maintenance equipment that was few and far between, and crappy logistucs. Thats my guess.
I wasn't TRUELY wondering why the Germans lost the war, you know.
It's called being facetious.
Thanks brother.
still thankfull that we lost
Great video brother - great comment on the environment and how valid these patterns still are. Germans were masters of the art back in the day.

Great camo pattern definitely worthing purchasing a set to have. Excellent work and presentation as always.
Once again great video,,, I now have an arid Flector shirt with coat... the Splinter camo will be next on my list can't wait to show my friends keep up the good work stay safe
Thanks brother.
Wow! That stuff just disappears and blends as well as any I ever seen that works. Even moving it's still pretty good!
Damn what a best camo man
This camo was ahead of it's time...

Wow! Highly effect. Brent just flat disappeared. Excellent pattern under woodland dappled light.
As always, great vid Brent!
Thanks
old but good , very good
I've watched about a dozen of your videos since discovering this channel two days ago. Looks to me like prone position makes whatever camo pattern more effective. I've not detected anyone in prone.

Agreed.
Most camos are too dark. This one works well on a sunny day with the sun on your back.
WOW, that is an awesome camo pattern, amazing how well it blends...may have to get some once done acquiring all my Flecktarn
Amazing!! Perfect for this environment!!
You gotta admit the Germans made some damn good camo
Have a set, live in the northeast, works great spring through early fall. One of my favorites out there, great video
ATF WW2 makes the best splinter camo stuff
I was only able to quickly spot you only about 3 times in this video I almost spotted you around the second time you shot, I thought you looked a little off but I couldn't tell that it was you or if you were just a log! I can confidently say that most of the time you were basically invisible! That's some insanely good camo for your area dude.
That pattern works excellent in the woodland shadows. Did you do Denison yet?
I have a set of Crye G3’s in Splintertarn. By far my fave pattern.
Top camo ❤
I have a set of this, but I had no idea it was so effective!! Thanks Brent!
I know you have a schedule for these camo videos, but you should try out the Irish woodland DPM.
It's spooky good !
Highly effective.

I know from playing outdoor paintball that German Splinter camo is definitely the best camo I've seen and had to go up against.
thank you! this is very rare Camo! and I really love it
Best camo.
When you're still it's absolutely completely concealed, that's very effective camo
Brent. Great video as always. Noticed you used more live fire in this one. Great idea and I hope you do it more often.
Thanks brother.
You should try the Norwegian Army M98 pattern :)
this camo is awesome.
This dude is just filming the woods.
Mil-Tec makes lower quality stuff, for very friendly price, though. Thing with their splinter camo stuff is you have to "break it in". Multiple washings will make the colors contrast a bit less, making that pattern even more effective.

It's more brown based than this one so it may be better to wait until the foliage dies though.
Maybe in the future, I have a smock in the pattern but that's it. I did the German BGS pattern though which is very similar, check it out.
At 2:55 I thought I saw you and was trying to figure it out just as you pulled the trigger. That was a tad bit startling.

No its German Army pattern, the Fallschirmjäger pattern was simillar but smaller blocks

Great video. Very well done. Hey Brent where do you find these camo jackets and pants? Been able to find the flecktarn fairly easy but the other german camo not so much. Any websites to check?
Ebay, I had to piece mill this one.
www.zip-militaria.de or com
If I ever get my hands on one of these rare Splintertarn BDUs I'll make a Raid Mod out of it.
South korean digital tiger stripe would be cool. Good luck finding any though.
Watching this while wearing Miltec Flectarn trousers
Can you make a video on German Liebermuster camo please. It's a lovely pattern and it'd be nice to see it in action.🤘👍
I've done a couple videos on Swiss Liebermuster, the German stuff is too rare and expensive for me to do.
Where did you buy the jacket?
Now how about some of that ww2 german palmtree camo pattern one of these days?
What's the best camo pattern in your opinion?
German Waffen ss Oak - Summer and Autum Camo
looks very effective,
... those nazis were miles ahead on their use and development of camo patterns,
(ive got a quilted reversible suit in a variation of this camo pattern)
Well they learned early on that camo would really help with survival of manpower and equipment when everything of theirs was just grey.
i read an article years ago, and in it there was a german complaining about their grey uniforms making them targets. While also pointing out how well the Russian and British khaki tones worked as a base color.
(he's lucky he wasn't French and wearing sky blue, lol)

Fucking love these videos!!!!!!
the equipment videos,
The training courses,
And strategy and tactics,
Keep it up!!!!!
Thanks brother.
Ive seen all your videos, and while this works great, id still say when you wore the east German rain pattern and the plain coyote brown, i simply could not spot you at all.
In my opinion, this pattern very good in summer sunny weather with sunny bleaks. Really not in tropics))) In the middle-north places
Is this a good camouflage for winter season? (No snow) Or are there better ones for that season?
Austrian army pea pattern is very effective in winter, it depends where you are.
Splinter pattern is too light, in terms of shades around the dark tree of winter. But splinter would work well on the forest floor.
Very effective!
Where do you buy your camo?
Can anyone link to a trusted online source where patterns like this as well as other older German/European camos can be bought? My thanks in advance!
a link?
Sumpftarn and splinter B next!
Pretty damn good!
I was actually able to spot you a fair number of times. Most other vids that just doesn’t happen
