The Wz. 68 ("moro" or "mora") was an overprint on cotton fabric in protective colors, which are camouflage, used for sewing military uniforms for Polish People's Army, Milicja Obywatelska, Prison Guards, Policja and Polish Fire Department. It was produced in 1969–1989.[1] Moro replaced the older camouflage pattern wz. 58, called "deszczyk" (rain, drizzle). Moro was replaced in 1989 by Wz. 89 Puma.[2]
In 1968, a pattern called moro was introduced to the Polish People's Army (often used colloquially to refer to a field uniform, but incorrectly as "camo"). There were several variants of this relatively simple pattern, differing in color. This was an important element from the point of view of identifying individual troops and types of uniformed services. It was more of a visual message, because the camouflage value of this pattern was small, due to the use of a relatively small pattern and low contrast. The wz. 68 camouflage did not deform the soldier's silhouette, creating one color even at a minimal distance.[3]
