Crete 1941
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???

Re: Crete 1941
Servus Mayfiebl,
Panzer grey would be the correct color for the few vehicles that the Germans brought with them.

Re: Crete 1941
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...mayfiebl wrote:Thank you, also maybe make it a Luftwaffe one? Use it as is it was "Borrowed" by the Heer unit?...seems very small amount of Army vehicles

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.......................
