Reichswehr and the Road to War
Explore the origins of German tank camouflage from 1918 to 1939 in this richly illustrated historical volume.
Panzer Camouflage Vol 4 traces the evolution of German armored camouflage schemes from the end of World War I through the interwar period. This edition focuses on the turbulent years between 1918 and 1939 — a time of military experimentation, reorganization, and the rise of the Wehrmacht.
From Freikorps to the Wehrmacht
In particular, this volume highlights how camouflage designs changed in parallel with Germany’s political and military developments. Early postwar activities of the Freikorps are examined in depth, including their involvement in the Spartacist Uprising and the fall of the Bavarian Soviet Republic in 1919.
Furthermore, Panzer Camouflage Vol 4 explores the gradual formation of the Reichswehr and the adoption of standardized RAL colors. The book also sheds light on rare topics such as the Kama tank school, prewar testing of armored vehicles, and the structure of infantry, cavalry, and tank divisions during this critical period.
As the book progresses, readers are guided through the initial steps of World War II, with coverage of the Danish and Norwegian invasion operations, supported by exclusive battle maps, recreated tactical symbols, and camouflage schemes based on archival sources.
