Leibermuster is a German military camouflage pattern first used in 1945. It was the last of a family of German World War II camouflage patterns. The pattern (named after the brothers Leiber, its creators) was issued on a very limited basis to combat units before the war ended. It consists of bold irregular areas of black printed over brown and green on a pale background.[1] The pattern was intended to provide some degree of camouflage in the infrared.[2] It was the first pattern issued to both regular army (Wehrmacht) and Waffen-SS units.
Reproduction Leibermuster uniforms made in China and Turkey, created for collectors and reenactors, have become available on the market through European vendors.[3] After the war, Liebermuster was the basis for the "pizza camouflage" issued to the Swiss army until the 1990s
