MS No. P-130 : camouflage.
No full textThe subject of camouflage has many aspects, from both the technical and tactical points of view. Accordingly the author has enlisted the aid of a large number of consultants, selected from among former ordnance inspectors and frontline experts with practical experience in various theaters of war.
Chapters 2 through 5 of this study illustrate the possibilities of camouflage with respect to the various objects to which it is applied. Comment is based on German experience in all theaters of World War II. Special attention is devoted to camouflage measures employed by the Russians. Examples illustrating how the Russians camouflaged strategic intentions were taken from a treatise loaned to the author by Colonel a.D. von Blumroeder, former intelligence officer with an army group. Conclusions are summarized in Chapter 6 .
A graphic report by Generalleutmant Bayerlein describing the use of camouflage during the Allied invasion of Normandy has been included as an appendix.
