Greetings all,

What was the color of Sherman BARVs on D-Day?

Most of the color pics of BARVs I've seen have them in grey. Why? Why not Olive Drab like other armored vehicles?

Hope someone can help.

Hi they were painted Naval Grey , so as to blend in with the waters edge , Olive drab stood out to starkly for the job they had to do pushing Landing craft back off the beach , cheers ian
