Default An Interesting Picture

Here s an interesting picture. I read somewhere, i belive it was one of Steven Ambrose'e books, but i could be wrong, that some units in Normandy, Paratroopers & Rangers, used Marine Camo. That was they only instance i ever saw mentioning that fact over the years and i never saw any photos until the other day, while perusing a WWII themed site on FaceBook, i stumbled across this picure and low and behold i had my first proof of Marine camo in the ETO. Pretty neat stuff. The caption mentioned a regular Army unit meeting up with a Para unit over a dead Germans body.



FYI - It was only used breifly as most allied units shot at any unit wearing camo on sight as they thought they were an Waffen SS outfit.
