Yep they got rid of camo in the late 50s/early 60s because it was too "aggressive" looking and reminded people of WWII. Same thing in Austria, they had the Austrian Pea pattern up to the 1970s but then went back to OD because camo was too "aggressive" for a defence force.
I like flecktarn, it's a cool pattern. Wustentarn as well...
Check out these trial patterns that the BW experimented with before selecting Flektarn B....
1976 trials patterns:
BW Truppenversuch 76 Sägezahnmuster
BW Truppenversuch 76 Punkttarnmuster
BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn A (Klein)
BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn B (GroÃ)
BW Truppenvesuch 76 Flecktarn C (Schattentarn)
Punktarn is one of my favourite looking camos - looks very cool...
The pics above are from a friend that collect BW gear.
