Winter 1939‒1940 was exceptionally hard for the weather, too. At worst, the temperature at the war front dropped to -30 degrees of Celsius. Snow suits were an important form of camouflage in combat. Some suits were capes sewn from sheets by mothers, sisters or wives at home. Civilians also used snow suits to hide from the bombers.
