This is a quote from a Time magazine article dated Aug 6 1941 and titled “Tobruk 16 Weeks Later”
A camouflage unit, fresh out of paint, improvised with captured Italian coffee (undrinkable), tomato sauce (condemned) and flour paste (plentiful).

Something tells me you wouldn’t find this stuff on limey armor though because it’s not “proper” and the rules must be followed. The germans were more do what they had to do in the field, and the Fuhrer be damned.
Remmember doog on this site we post pics of our work[;)]
