Disruptive pattern material.
The British Army first used it in the 1940's, a smock issued to Commandos and Paratroopers, although Nazi Germany had been using camouflage since the 1930's, and the S.S. exclusively from 1935.
As a fact, anyone wearing DPM was often shot at in 'blue on blue', friendly fire incidents as it was only issued to US and UK special forces.
The current MTP, multi-terrain pattern is still a form of disruptive pattern, camouflage.
Basically camouflage just breaks up the outline, giving images of shade, light and dark that are in nature, with no straight lines. Even Scottish tweed clothing is a DPM!
Angling companies have got in on the DPM craze and raised prices to fleece the sheep.
