Camouflage pattern Alepentarn - Alpenflage (SWISS)

Country of deployment: The most well-known user is Switzerland, but it was also tested during the war by the SS and Wehrmacht.

The camouflage pattern of Kampfanzug 57/70 is composed of six colors and features a basic light brown background with random white spots and a pale green body overprinted with green, reddish-brown, and black leaves. At first glance, the choice of red and green seems very bright for something that should hide and camouflage well. However, in some areas, the entire pattern works exceptionally well. This is especially true for combat in urban areas (the so-called "intravilán") and alpine terrain. The Swiss army refers to this type as "Vierfrucht-Pyjama," which is roughly translated as "four-fruit pajamas."

The Kampfanzug 57/70 camouflage type was issued between the years 1957–1993 (after 1970 with a textile daypack) and the lighter Taz 83 with a different camouflage pattern between 1983–1993 for non-combat units. Both were replaced by the Taz 90 type, which consists exclusively of these colors: sand, brown, green, and black.

Swiss Militärblachen tarps with the TAZ 83 pattern are still used by the modern Swiss army along with green Militärblachen tarps (not of the same pattern/type as Taz 90).
