The Waffen SS M44 Trousers, introduced March 1944, featured the five-color “dot 44” (Erbsentarn) camouflage pattern. Made of cotton or HBT twill, they were designed as a year-round, all-season combat uniform replacement for pullover smocks. They had two slanted hip pockets, a rear pocket, a watch pocket, waist adjusters, and ankle ties for use with ankle boots and gaiters.
