You really did a fantastic job!
When I visited a secret archive in the tunnels under the city of xxx (I am not supposed to tell) I found a yet unknown document from KoGenLuft Ernst von Hoeppner from December 1917 about painting German warplanes in 1918. It reads (translation by me) „
Of course we are going to loose the war. And therefore of course we could paint all of our warplanes a red color. But we won‘t. I am giving the advice now to paint all warplanes in a camouflage pattern that looks as strange as possible and is going to be as difficult to reproduce on scale models as possible. This is going to be our revenge for decades! Harr harr (he actually writes „harr harr“ — strange person this von Hoeppner, don‘t you think?)“
Another question clarified. I am preparing an edition of this document, but that will take its time...
Best regards,
Andreas
