German Panzer camouflage evolved from standardized 1939-1942 Panzer Gray and brown to a 1943 Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) base coat with Olive Green and Red Brown camouflage applied. By 1944-1945, this shifted to the "Hinterhalt-Tarnung" (ambush) pattern, featuring dotted, field-applied schemes designed to break up vehicle silhouettes under tree cover.
