I started this topic in the USSR Forum,  I thought they were painted helmets but member Cap Camouflage Pattern I pointed out that they are probbly in fact cloth covers made from camo material, which on study is what they are. after awhile after he that after he said that it occured to me that w seen Germans wearing something like these too.

 

And so they are.

Hi patches.

 

This is the full photograph. Not being an expert in German units I'm not sure if there is anything that gives away the soldiers' unit. Can you advise?

Nope, no special markings on shoulder straps, Waffenfarbe looks a Light Green rather than White, if so members depending on date, of a Schuetze or after 1942, Panzer Grenadier unit of a Panzer Division.

Thanks patches. 

Here's a German wearing the whole Smock, not a wise idea right, though he maybe is just posing with it on just for the photo.

Found one more example of the  Amoeba camo suit, however, since this seems to be photos that would appear in a manual on the Raketenpanzerbüchse, and worn by the same guy,  its probable the suit is just worn for the photos for whatever reason.

Looks like another Cover, a 10mm Mortar Crewman in the East.
