The three color camouflage sceme used by the German military from mid 1943 to the end of the war was the most varied of all combatants in the war. New vehicles leaving the factory were to be painted overall dark yellow, additional camouflage was to be applied in the field by the crews themselves or in field work stations. The choices of colors, application and patterns was left entirely to field commanders. This obviously lead to a great amount of variation in appearance, even between vehicles of the same unit. Dark yellow, olive green and red-brown camouflage paint was issued in 2 and 20 kg cans as a concentrated paste, much like shoe polish. This concentrate was to be diluted with gasoline and the most common method of application was with a spray gun. In many situations, application with a spray gun was not possible and almost every possible way to apply paint was used; brushes, mops, brooms, rags, sponges, even with their bare hands. The "artist ability" of the individual crews added to the variation. Due to shortages of gasoline, water, kerosene, other solvents, even used motor oil, was used to dilute the paint concentrates. This produced a huge variation in pigment densities and colors, making the amount of variation in colors and patterns virtually limitless. Winter white-wash was applied in an equally haphazard manner, sometimes a complete coating, other times merely stripes, dots or scruffy blotches. Believe it or not, I actually found a wartime picture of a Nashorn with green and brown paste applied over the white wash to breakup the vehicles shape, very similar to the photo from Kubinka. This is on page 64 of Squadron's Panzer Colors, volume I. I can scan in the image and post it if you want it.
