An old, but very interesting Camouflage pattern
'Frog Skin'
A US Marine wearing his camouflage suit fires a Thompson sub-machine gun during Jungle Training - 1942.
Well over 300,000 troops trained at various Jungle Training Centers throughout WWII, most in the Hawaiian area.
The M1942 Frog Skin pattern was the United States military's first attempt at disruptive coloration camouflage, Designed by horticulturist Norvell Gillespie. In 1942, the Marine Raiders were the first issued the Frog Skin uniform, which was reversible with a five-color jungle pattern on a green background on one side and a three-color beach pattern with a tan background on the other side, however the pockets are only on the green side of the uniform.
Just prior to the Normandy invasion there was a limited experimental issue of HBT camouflage uniforms to elements of the 2nd and 30th Infantry Divisions, the 17th Engineer Battalion and the 41st Armored Infantry regiment, of the US 2nd Armored Division.
Although the uniform seems to have provided good camouflage for the troops wearing it, the unfamiliar uniforms were often mistaken for the camouflage smocks worn by the German Waffen SS. This resulted in a number of 'friendly fire' incidents.
The uniforms were withdrawn from the ETO (European Theatre of Operations), although troops were often still issued with the camouflage uniform as their original ones wore out, and period photos show the type in use until well into August 1944.
