I could totally see wearing a camo pattern from a nation hostile to NATO

I have a DDR strichtarn field jacket that's p cool. My partner thinks it's super ugly so I mostly wear it to do yard work lol

Just looked up strichtarn out of curiosity. Is it an effective pattern irl?

It doesn’t look like it would break up form or outline very well at all from photos.

I'm going to guess not really. Most of the people who used it after Czechoslovakia and the DDR are forces in Africa and former Yugoslav conflicts that just used what they could get for cheap.
