Leibermuster is a German military camouflage pattern first used in 1945. It was the last of a family of German World War II camouflage patterns. The pattern (named after its designers, the Leiber brothers) was issued on a very limited basis to combat units before the war ended. It consists of bold irregular areas of black printed over brown and green on a pale background.[1]

Development
The pattern was intended to provide some degree of camouflage in the infrared.[3] It was the first pattern to be issued to both regular army (Wehrmacht) and Waffen-SS units. All known original images of the Leibermuster depict Wehrmacht soldiers stationed in former Czechoslovakia. There are no known images of Waffen-SS members wearing the Leibermuster.
