Hmmm...the first two and that one with Rommel and his officers look hand-tinted to me

Nice stuff anyway, thanks Kamerad !

[Stigroadie]

Second one certainly tinted.

Thanks lads
Yes i think these are re-coloured (not by me) like the others i posted.
These i think came from the US "Life" magazine and i imagine were captured
photo's which had been coloured in by the Yanks

It confirms then that the Heer uniforms were originally mainly coloured olive green and the Luftwaffe uniforms coloured tan (notwithstanding bleaching and weathering via the sun .)
