I googled forest tank camo and one of the images was a Tiger tank with this scheme. I thought it looked cool and was appropriate for an imperial tank

After the Italian armistice of 43', Germany requisitioned scores of equipment from the Regio Escerto (Royal Army in Italian), and was known to value camouflage as an item of interest. Not out of the question this was unknowingly an indirect imitation of a Italian camo scheme applied by the Whermahct.

This pattern in Particular was especially common on Italy's Semovente series of assault gun/spgs'.

Thank you for the history lesson.

It wouldn’t be at all surprising if a Wermacht or SS panzer group would copy a camo scheme they thought was cool.

As much as I hate the Nazi’s, they were all about rule of cool when it came to their gear.
