These tunics should in 1944(1 March) replace green and off-white fatigue uniforms for work, as well as the pullover SS-smock for combat operations. This new uniform could be worn over standard wool uniform, or by it self. During the battle of the Bulge in Descember 1944, large numbers of SS troops were equipped with these camouflage drill uniforms.

Insignias were not authorized to be worn on these uniforms, anyway a lot of Waffen-SS soldiers often used insignias like: cuff title, collar tabs+++
