Yeah. I do German WW2 reenactments. Try wearing a wool uniform for a couple days in 90 plus temps. People start to smell like BO, Wood fire smoke and that smell after a hard night of drinking beer.
Always try to take a “Whores Bath” even in the coldest of Temps. Face, Armpits and naughty bits and a change of underwear and socks. A real adventure in below freezing temps.

SSG Morrison is that you? Seriously, I had a squad leader in Germany back in the ‘80s who did reenacting, wore an SS dappled camo smock with a WW II ‘coal scuttle’ German helmet and flew a German naval ensign from the antenna on his M113 Dragon track, great guy, looked a bit like Teddy Roosevelt, steel rimmed glasses, thick mustache, barrel chested, big TR grin, the little old lady German hausfraus would wave and blow him kisses. We were Scouts so we got away with all sorts of stuff, improvising camo before the BDU uniforms were in the system, at one point we wore UK DPMS smocks, Rhodesian, Vietnam Tiger Stripe, SS dappled, Ghillie suits...the CSM just shook his head....
