Military Mode Publishing is pleased to spotlight the Tarnfarben Bundle — a comprehensive set of three volumes that together offer one of the most detailed visual studies of German military camouflage patterns, painted artefacts, and field equipment ever published. Whether you’re a seasoned militaria collector, a military historian, or a researcher focused on camouflage history, this three-book collection provides unparalleled reference value.

Why the Tarnfarben series matters...

Camouflage played a vital role in twentieth-century warfare, helping conceal soldiers, equipment, and vehicles across battlefields from the Ardennes to North Africa. The Tarnfarben series — produced by Military Mode Publishing and authored by noted camouflage specialist Oliver Lock — documents this development with high-resolution photography and expert commentary, making it a must-have for anyone serious about German military history.

The Tarnfarben Bundle brings together:

  • Volume One — an in-depth exploration of early German camouflage prototypes and field applications, setting the foundation for later patterns.

  • Volume Two — a detailed visual study of mid-war camouflage, with extensive coverage of helmets, vehicle parts, signage, and equipment featuring authentic battlefield paint schemes.

  • Volume Three — the concluding work in the trilogy, examining late-war adaptations, rare camouflage patterns, and the enduring influence of these techniques.

Together, these volumes offer a complete narrative of how camouflage evolved across theatres and seasons, from splinter-style concealment to complex field-applied finishes.
