For the longest time the German uniforms after WW2 were just plane grey/green uniforms similar to the US Fatigues. They did not go to a camo pattern until the 80's just like the US did.

Even back during WWII when they painted their tanks with that special spotted camo including their uniforms!
Ambush pattern!

BTW colourblind people see in tonality rather than colour, so using camouflage against them is nearly pointless.

Wait. The Germans had a cool assortment of camo. I know most of the Werhmacht used mainly grey but the SS used Camo. They also put on their tanks mainly in the Russian Campaign.

The SIG MP41 was the submachine gun that I would use if I were a European nation, although the US should stick with the Thompson to simplify things. This weapon was made in Switzerland, and clocked in at 9.6lbs. It had a 40 round detachable box clip for holding 9mm Parabellum rounds. It opperated on blowback, and had a cyclic rate of 850rpm. It had a muzzle velocity of 1312fps, and an effective range of 984 ft. This is not to say that the gun was accurate at these ranges, but rather that it could still be believed that bullets would reach out past most other SMGs.

I forgot about the MP41. Its a least known sub machine gun used in the war.
