This mod aims to replace or improve textures in game with new high resolution work while retaining the original feeling and color palette of the game. Characters in game will be given much higher variety of uniforms, equipment and decals which will allow for much deeper experience for those who want to revisit the game or play it for the first time after long time. The textures are redone using original ones as base whenever possible (most are still nice and have at least basic realism) to retain original design, but all textures are upscaled to twice (or more) of original resolution, sharpened, and have decals either redrawn, or replaced with as much reverence to realism as possible. In effect the skins are extra realistic, but also don't look out of place - everything is done as to not ruin the original scene background and color palette that has been developed specially for SPR and MoHAA.

Description

Another camo variant of Waffen SS Panzergrenadier - standard feldgrau wool uniforms with camouflage smocks worn over it. Proper camo smocks in Oak camouflage pattern added, together with helmet camo covers in the same pattern; Y-straps and SS belts were added too. On the left officer model - in the same camo smock, but with officer collar tab insignia and "crusher" cap.
Also it's not very visible, but you can spot two variants of MP40 pouches here: tan on Schutze, and green on officer (on his right hip, opposite pistol holster). Pouches came in variety of colours (from tan, through green, to dark blue and graphite black), and those colors will be assigned randomly to characters.

Waffen SS infantry is encountered as an enemy in three missions in Normandy. In game they are supposed to represent Panzergrenadiers from SS divisions fighting there in 1944. It is not known which divisions exactly are present in game, although it's most probably elements from 1. and/or 2. SS Panzer Divisions and 17. SS Panzergrenadier division, which were fighting around areas in which US forces operated.

*Panzergrenadiers were strengthened units of mechanized infantry, supposed to act offensively together with tanks and other armored vehicles. In game there was also model named "Panzer Grenadier/german_panzer_grenadier", but it's not exactly a character supposed to represent actual Panzergrenadiers - 2015 gave name "_grenadier" to characters that crew team weapons, eg. MG42 - in files you can notice there are also same model names for Afrika Korps (german_afrika_grenadier) and Heer (german_wehrmact_grenadier). The part "panzer" means he's from panzer division model pack. So the in-game "Panzer Grenadier" and IRL Panzergrenadier are two different things.
