Camouflage:
Was not provided for a small vehicle as a camouflage should be effective at
1000 m. Some vehicles - provided with camouflage on photos - were designed by
the soldiers at the front as they fancied.
Winter Camouflage:
For this purpose a white camouflage past was used. In case they did not have
it the vehicle was simply whitened with whitewash. The first rain "unmasked" the
vehicle back to its original color .
Repainting Work:
from 1942 - 43 many vehicles were repainted from black grey to dark yellow
-Wehrmachtsbeige-. Often the rubber parts, tires and the exhaust was painted too.
The main thing was that the new color was availbale. The teactical and divisons signs were covered extensively.
This is the reason why these signs are still on a dark grey surface whereas the bike itsself is painted in beige.
By misinterpretation of photos you could think that there was a sign on the lampholder of the BMW saying Gabelöl...... It is true that there is a stamp that looks like a sign because of the masking of the grey black blackground.
