Title: 1940 Belgians uniforms questions
Post by: Dave in vermont on June 29, 2020, 06:30:38 PM

Hello,

First time poster, I am working on  Chain of Command  1940 armies. Currently I am in the acquire and research portion of a 1940 Belgian army. So a couple of questions:
Does any one have any recommended reference books or websites on the Belgian portion of the 1940 campaign?

Secondly there appears to be a color change between the m 1935 which was a khaki based color and the m1939 which appears to be more green but I am not sure, is this correct? And did this uniform see the light of day in the campaign? I have seen various  pictures of the  Chasseurs Ardennais in both color schemes.

thanks for any help.
Dave

Went down this rabbit hole a few years back, I went with Vallejo British uniform for the foot troops.

Only a few sites remain on wayback machine

That is a great resource, I also painted my test figure in English uniform.
