quite right, DM. if people check into the history of German camouflage and its use in both WWI and WW2 they'll quickly see that there were quite some 'funky' ideas displayed on fully-operational war machines; from tanks and ground cars to fighter planes and bombers.
one of my favorites is seeing a real life color photo of a honking HUGE Tiger tank lumbering along (taken at the Battle of the Bulge conflict) an icy, snowy, muddy road that was painted overall grey, and that had been partially repainted in places with white snow camo paint, then over-painted once again with 'purple' splotches of paint intermixed with the snow camo paint!
g'ah!
hock:
there was no way that this war machine was in any way really camouflaged or less easier to see and so i can only assume that it was done to 'freak out' the rum-soaked American minds of the US soldiers fighting there. :lol:
but in truth and to be fair, some Allied units (land, sea and air) also had some odd and pretty bizarre camo and/or signature paint sets as well. of course to see them you really usually have to do the research for them.
Beo
