I don't think they used black and white paint in WWII. Wink

I've seen a color photo from same time period, but can't seem to 'relocate it'.

As a kid, I used to think the past was not really black & white, but various shades of gray.

"Victory At Sea" was a favorite along with the early episodes (B&W) of 'RAT PATROL'

When we got our first Color TV,.....it was a 'brave new world!!'.

IIRC when I first visited APG in 77 and for a few years after that there were some pretty outrageous paint jobs on a few vehicles. The Hetzer comes to mind and in particular the Jgpz. IV Shocked

. I'll have to try and dig out my old slides and check. they are definitely in color

There are a number of examples of vehicles in the distinctive Czechoslovak camo schemes. For example, note the TNHPS on the cover:
