Re: Kriegsmarine cammo & paints article
Oh yes, the 'Kreigs'-marine article ... 
An great source, for the time it was written. As mentioned at the bottom of the site, it first appeared in 1995. I don't know how often it may have been edited until the last update of this site, which was 2003. Now, eight years later, there is much more information available, or at least known but not necessarily available. The article seems to be well researched but really needs an update as there are quite a few things incorrect. It refers to the ATDK book which refers to the 1944 paint regulations - but the author of the article provides the camouflage paints of the 1941 paint regulation. If you both have at hand, why not mentioning it clearly? The caption translations in the ATDK book are awfully bad, maybe this led to some confusion as well.
Happy painting ~ Olaf!
