CAMOUFLAGED FIST Camouflage Smocks used by the Infantry Brigades of 6th Armoured Division in Italy 1944

Camouflaged Fist offers the first in-depth study of the innovative camouflage smocks worn by the infantry of the 6th Armoured Division, a subject previously unexamined. Drawing on meticulous archival research, including previously inaccessible war diaries, the book reconstructs the who, what, where, when and why of their use. Personal accounts from those who wore the smocks, alongside newly digitised photographs and documents, bring the narrative vividly to life. Beyond the smocks themselves, the work sheds light on broader patterns of uniform use in Italy and presents previously unpublished material on the division. Key reading for historians, collectors, reenactors and scale modellers, it combines scholarship with practical insight, making a valuable contribution to the study of Second World War infantry attire.
