Luftwaffe winter camo?

It may not exist but I’m having trouble finding some decent references for German winter/mountain camo. Specificly, what was worn on the JU-52 in the movie,“Where Eagles Dare”. It looks all white, with a sort of striated black or dark gray stripes. There is actually a web site for the movie that has one still shot of the aircraft. One can tell a little about the camo scheme, but all you see is a close up of the rear portion of the plane. I’d really like some detailed reference, like the actual stripe pattern across the wings and fuselage. Also, what are the exact colors used. Was this an actual Luftwaffe pattern, or just a movie prop. Were there other planes that wore this, or just transport craft.

Thanks for your consideration,

Jerry

You could rent the DVD and pause it on those scenes to get some idea.

The results of a quick Google search. Mifght not be exactly what you wanted, but keep looking. Winter camoflge was a water-based white peint sprayed, mopped or broomed over the standard camo- sometimes in patterns. It wore ioff very quickly and got dirty and patchy- bear in mind the corrugated surfaces of the Ju 52 and imagine the weathering possibilities!

Yes, the winter camo could be the same that the He-111’s… RLM 65 Hellblau in the undersides and RLM 21 Weiss in the uppersides, with RLM 70 squiggle…

The camo is similar to the one I applied to thes Ju 87. I painted the temperate splinter camo first, then sprayed patches of white.
