Re: Gruppe & Staffel Colours (Confusion Between Published Sources)
Good evening folks !
An information to the German forces (WW2 up to now) traditional colour (only markings) system in Staffel/Kompanie level: 1st = white or black 2nd = red 3rd = yellow 4th = blue eventually a 5th = green In my Bundeswehr time, I served in the 3rd Company of a Tank battallion. All our Tanks had and yellow mark. The 2nd Companie's tanks had a red mark. Inside the Companies, the 1st platoons equipment had white marks, the seconds had red marks and the third had yellow marks. The whole system was very seldom topped by a 5th unit, which had the green colour as marking. All the best ! Horst Weber |
