Re: Luftwaffe Ground Camouflage

Hi,
For barracks I have found five methods of camouflage - just in Denmark.
1. A uniform deep green color.
2. Two tones of colors that cannot be determined.
3. Camouflaged as a farm building with white walls with black stripes mimicking the wood work.
4. Large barracks with dummies built across to break up the large construction.
5. A dazzle pattern of large sections of white and black in order to break up the shape and the shadow.

Brick buildings were camouflaged in two colors, with a false roof or not at all since, the Germans used the same bricks as used in the buildings "outside the fence".
So "camouflage" is above and beyond two tones of color.

In the cases where a uniform color was used at FlH Grove, it was Pine Tree Green. This was used for the hangars, many barracks and the control tower.
