What Colors Should I Use For Rommel's Greif?

Bish's second photo is fascinating on several levels.  Like domparing the dark of the overhang, or of the Feldgrau uniform, compared to the back of the gun shield.

Mind, there the vexing question of that bag which is seen so often on Greif's port side.

It's not a "bread bag" as the straps are too long.  Which makes a perons wonder if it's British or Italian kit.

Greif is a stark contrast to Patton's staff car.  If eerily similar in some ways.

Bish's first and second photo are of a sequence of shots. That is not a continental Field Gray uniform, that is a new issue tropical uniform that just hasn't faded yet. 

Greif's greatest mystery though, why is the name in white outline on one side and red filled inside the white on the other?

Mac, i am not 100% sure, but i think thats a German issue back pack.

That is an odd one and something i think many modelers miss. But Stik's photo's show it perfectly.

Hmm, an Alpine or Bergetruppen, perhaps?  I have this memory that the Tournister had a fur-covered flap, and thin-ish leather straps.  And not what, in photos seems to be a fabric bag with fabric straps.

I'm running off memory here, and memories can be quite faulty, so I could be clean wrong.

Just one more of those historical inconsistencies that vex, like solid letters and outlined letters.  Or whether Arizona was blue or gray on 7DEC41 o_O 

Or just what color Dunkelgelb really was

Its not a Gebirgsjäger ruck. Those have two or three external pockets, dpepenting upon the type. That pack almost looks like the larger pack off of the British P37 web gear. I have no idea as to any Italian field gear of that sort.

And, that fits in with the dude wwho used the British goggles as thet fit better, too, sort of thinking.

What I know about Italian LBE would fit in a thimble and leave room for a fingertip.

Shared knowledge is increased knowledge.
