Вопросы по K5 Eisenbahngeschutz "Leopold"

Camouflage :
The first four guns were overall dark Gray when they left the factory in 1937. They probably received camouflage when they were tested. Most of the period photographs I have seen showing this camouflage also show provisions for the Sprengwerk that was used only on the first three guns. The two tone scheme was in use from 1935 to 1939 and consisted of 2/3 dark gray and 1/3 brown. On K5, it was applied in broad undulating vertical bands (see Photo A). By the time K5's were delivered to the troops, the color scheme had changed to overall dark gray. They were sent to France and Russia in this delivery. During the Russian winter, K5's may have been whitewashed to camouflage then (see Photo B). The Afrikacorps used a dark desert yellow from 1942 onwards. Since Leopold was destined from north Africa it may have had this color. In early 1943, a three tone camouflage scheme was adopted, using a base of Dunkelgelb (dark Yellow). Dark brown and green could be added according to season and terrain. K5 guns seem to be found only in overall dark yellow, although the painting could be very motley. Lettering and badges were often left in patches of the original dark gray, as in the case on Leopold.
