Used for new uniforms lost its quality and the colour began to vary, The German Army, or Heer, adopted the Fieldgrey uniform in 1935 but the name is misleading as it’s anything but grey – green with a greyish tinge might be the best description.Īs the war progressed and Germanys situation deteriorated the cloth I’ve used the dating system for describing uniform items as used by re-enactors such as “M1940” & “M1942” to help you get an idea of the timelines for the introduction of new or improved uniforms but don’t get hung up on them as they are a guide only! The colours I’ve chosen to use are my personal preferences so please don’t treat them as “gospel” I’ve used Vallejo paints exclusively for the figures shown below so if you want colour matches from other paint ranges you’ll need to visit the FoW comparison chart.
Future articles will cover specialist uniforms like the PanzerTruppen and camouflage items etc. As the title says I’m going to concentrate here on just the standard uniform and equipment used by the Army from the invasion of Poland to the end of 1943. This painting guide is the first in a series I plan to write to try and help make the seemingly complex task of getting those German armies painted for Flames of War gaming a little easier. During that time they kept the same basic uniform and equipment but added or improved upon some items that are still used today. The German Armed Forces, or Wehrmacht, went to war in 1939 in Poland and set the world alight for 6 long years.
