RLM 81/82 – More secrets unveiled
Regarding my previous posting dealing with my discovery that RLM 83 had indeed a darkblue color some questions about RLM 81/82 appeared. I would like to share the other breathtaking discovery I made. Read the text carefully:
Test order E2-45/19 (Flight verification of camouflage „Land“) • Report June 1943: The to darken RLM 70/71 will be replaced with color 281 H (olivgreen) and B657 (brightgreen). After 9 month of environmental testing they are very lightresistant. • Report August 1943: The new colors RLM 81 and 82 (brown tint) introduced • Report October 1943: The exposure of the colors (also small production batches) after finishing the summer sun period showing no discoloration. • Report December 1943: RLM 81 and 82 introduced. Lightresistant without objection • Report February 1944: RLM 81 and 82 accordingly report 2138/43 dated 02. July 1943 introduced. Lightresistant, including serial production, without objection. The question is where are we now?
And please keep in mind I am a German native and I have access to all the files in Germany and, much more important, I can read the text of such documents and understand the content properly. Looking forward to read all the posts and hone your skills in Germany language |
