Hey Everyone.
Does anyone have a know of the PAK 40 camo schemes during the battle of Berlin?
Also I'm curious in the Tanks that had major roles during the battle.
I'm reading a book about the battle of Berlin, but so far all it's
mentioned is that the units defending Berlin had mixed tank units.
I know both Tigers, and King Tigers played a major role defending the Reischtag and surrounding areas...but any other info would be awesome.

this is for my next Diorama: "The Defence of Konigsplatz"

seems to me almost any late war peic of equipment or paint scheme would be appropriate for the battle of berlin since they were basically throwing everything into the defence. The huge Maus prototype was even being transported to defend berlin when the russians destroyed it.

yeah. I too am under the same impression that any camo would be appropriate, but i just wanted to be safe, becuz like all modelers historical accuacy is number 1 on my list.

Since most war production factories were in the greater berlin area most of their products were built and shipped directly to the front line. Some of the vehicles and weapons arrived at the front with no paint scheme at all! A few were just bare metal!

Hope that helps!
