Genuine German Desert Flecktarn Parka
This is a genuine issue three colour Desert Flecktarn Parka as
used by German troops in Afghanistan. Made of the same materials as the
standard issue Flecktarn Parka.
In the 1990s, the German Army introduced their first desert camouflage,
designated
Tropentarn.
Germany had never produced a desert pattern uniform because its constitution
did not permit action outside
of NATO's borders, which meant only Turkey offered desert like terrain. Around
the time of Desert Shield, German
courts reinterpreted this restriction and as a result small numbers of troops
have been deployed to areas such as the Balkans, Middle East, and recently
Afghanistan. Within the last few years the colours were changed to a more
yellow-tan
colour instead of sand. It was also designated Wüstentarn so as not to
be confused with a new tropical Flecktarn material/uniform which is designated
Tropentarn.
