Kind of sorry all germanofilům, but the only correct color for a vehicle originally operated by any component of the German armed forces are (in my opinion) the colors of the Allies.... Laughing

In the annex is the vehicle of the VW 166 "liberated" and used by members of the british 11. armored division in western Europe.

To avoid all arguments, from other photos of the same vehicle shows that the vehicle was after the "liberation" used by the soldiers of the above-mentioned connector, it was most likely painted in the colour "bronze green" and the picture was taken in the moment when he was refreshed "the allied marking" on the vehicle..
