Dr. Ing. Wilhelm "Wim" Reni Brandt was a German military officer and engineer known for his writings and developments in the fields of camouflage and tank warfare, being friends with Ernst Volckmann. Among other developments, Brandt was responsible for a type of camouflage clothing and helmet covers issued to the Waffen SS.[1] Brandt also wrote a number of works on armored warfare theory, beginning in 1924.[2] In the early 1930s, Brandt participated in the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, assisting the Bolivian side and their small armoured forces.[3]
He was severely wounded on the Eastern Front on 13 July 1941 and died two days later in a military field hospital.
