French Combat Pants

Legion is a large military unit. The French Foreign Legion used protective coloring for garment concealment.

The French word camoufler means to disguise, alter, and influence by camouflet. This is a snub meaning to smoke blown in the enemy's face - literally.

Note:
Scientific camouflage was greatly developed in World War I by the French. The use of elaborate devices to conceal military objectives and industrial plants was necessary.

French created false landscapes using wire screens as a foundation for foliage and ships were dazzle-painted to conceal their course by distortion of perspective.

Again the French influenced World War II. In World War II camouflage was further developed used on a large scale to the point of hiding the world great art.

German Nazi would dine in cafes. While they drank, French locals hid great art on the ceilings and walls upside down to camouflage the art so that it wasn't stolen and taken to the museums in Berlin and Munich.
