Crete 1941

Post by mayfiebl »

I will be doing a WW2 reenactment in May for a Crete Battle, most likely as a mountian unit, What paint would be correct for my SideCar...it is current Waffen SS Cammo...Grey or solid tan for that period??? Any pictures???

Servus Mayfiebl,

Panzer grey would be the correct color for the few vehicles that the Germans brought with them.

The Army did have some vehicles on Crete...I've seen some photos of General Ringel in a motorcycle-sidecar combo...plus the Kettenkrad was first used at Crete. Maybe you can find some donkeys... :D

Yes but what about that dog - it seems not to be in regulation colour at all! Must consult my RAL book on regulation colours for animals.......................

More likely road dust over the panzer gray base color.
