Hi, Nick. Welcome to the pages of the FSM site. I hope you'll find it useful and that you'll be a frequent visitor here. I think it's fair to say that both The Allies and the Germans used whitewash as a form of camo during the Battle of the Bulge pretty extensively. I've seen any number of photos of vehicles from both sides that were whitewashed, used bedsheets, snow; pretty much whatever was needed for concealment. Hope thi shelps. - Ed

Welcome to FSM Nick ..... good to see that your trauling wasn't in vain.

I believe you would be correct in using whitewash on any of the vehicles that saw action in the Ardennes. I can definitely say that some Shermans in the Ardennes did have this for winter camo.

You may get more mileage with this question though if you post it in the Armour Forum.

I look forward to your posts.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

hi guys,
found this site after endless trauling on the web...it's pretty cool!!
my interests are WWII aircraft and armour...
a question re the ARDENNES OFFENSIVE: can you please tell me which sides (if any) used whitewashes on their armour during the so-called battle of the bulge??
i have a tamiya jagdpanther already built to instructions' spec, but don't know whether to add whitewash...
i also have the tamiya sherman "frontline breakthrough" and king tiger "ardennes front" in mind...can anyone help me please?
many thanks,
nick mayhew
