Uncited materials

There were two uncited paragraphs from 'History', not sure where they came from. We shouldn't risk WP:OR in such a developed article (if anywhere), so here they are. We can put them back once sources are found for them:

"The Americans introduced the spotted M42 "Frogskin" pattern for general issue in the Pacific. Wartime uniform camouflage patterns became the basis for many of the postwar patterns, but for most countries camouflage uniforms largely remained the province of special units well into the 1970s. The postwar US Army believed that a solid colour uniform provided better general protection, particularly for moving soldiers. However, some republics of the Soviet Union embraced the general issue of camouflage uniforms to field troops. The East Germany Army was equipped with camouflage uniforms from its inception in 1956, making it the first modern army to issue a camouflage field uniform to all troops."

"The invention of radar and sonar primarily lead to various form of active countermeasures. It was not until the introduction of radar or sonar guided missiles that stealth technology developed in the 1960s and -70s. Use of missiles made engagement range for many types of combat well beyond visual range, and camouflage for ships and aircraft become less relevant. With the introduction of effective stealth technology came a renewed interest in camouflage patterns." Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
