Red Camo?
TAZ 83, more commonly known to collectors as "Alpenflage," is a distinctive camouflage pattern used by the Swiss Army for their combat uniforms. Interestingly, it is still used for Swiss army tents today. The design of TAZ 83 is based on the WWII German experimental pattern called Leibermuster, which was used by the Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht to counter early infrared optics.
While it may seem unusual to have camouflage featuring red splotches, it is actually quite effective in "fighting in built-up areas" environments and alpine terrain. Even though you probably won't be fighting in the Swiss Alps anytime soon, this camouflage is a must-have for any military gear collector.
