Re: JG 54 Winter 1943 cammouflage

Merrick identifies the colours as the prewar 61/62/63, IIRC. It was not uncommon for the Luftwaffe to experiment with different colours in a geschwader at the front-line. Bear in mind that the unit was not actually right at the cutting edge but safely back within the supplied perimeter, and a few gallons of paint would not take up that much space on a train or lorry. Such a movement may well not have been a high priority, but over the course of a winter such a movement is not that unbelieveable.
