KT Tank Unit Question
 

Did any of the Heer tank units use the KT or were they only sent to the SS tank units? If the Heer units used then does anyone have a list of Heer units? Thank you In advance... Harold

503rd heavy tank battalion (Normandy)
and
PzAbt 501 heavy tank battalion

Hey West,

Just a thought. But a rare cammo scheme is the late war version. Dunkengleb with waves of primer red and circles (not dots) of the primer on the base dunkengleb. No other markings.

Interesting color, never seen that one before. Also some nice photos and video under that youtube user. Anyone have confirmation of that type of camo being used?

Only corroboration I've seen is from "Wydawnictwo Militaria 136 Tiger Colors" book

Hey Armchair,

I did some looking and there is indeed a picture of a tank in that scheme in TIGERS IN COMBAT. The real debate was weather the curved lines were green or primer. It turns out that it was indeed primer.

If you want to see the strangest cammo ever take a look at GERMAN TANKS OF WW II IN COLOR. There is a Jadgpanther cammo'd to look like a building.

Tigers in combat vol. 1 and vol. 2 is two superb books on this subject. Can strongly recomend them to anyone intrested in Tiger I:s and II:s.
