Hey Fellas, what colour should my (insert: helmet, tunic, pants, boots, etc.) be?

Again, you've got to look at the evidence. We all know that German wool uniforms (except Luftwaffe obviously) were supposed to be "field grey" but even looking at black and white pictures it's obvious there was a lot of variation. Looking at originals, field grey could mean anything from a steely blue-grey colour to something close to olive drab, and even, at the very end, earth brown.

The same is true for helmets: field grey could mean anything from apple green during the early war years to slate grey later on. As for boots, these changed from polished black leather jackboots at the start of the war to undyed, rough-out ankle boots with wooden soles by 1945. All of which means that there is no single right answer: if you're a member of a group (or joining one), go with their policy.

More.

Again, ask you unit what they require... all of which means that there is no single right answer: if you're a member of a group (or joining one), go with their policy. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
