German Army in Southern Italy

[The Gray Ghost]

What types of colors were used by the Germans in Southern Italy for uniforms and vehicles?

In warmer weather, lots of tropical kit. The reed green summer uniforms are an option as well.

agreed.    You can really mix it up uniform wise on the uniform front. Luftwaffe troops especially liked their tropical kit in the warmer months. Lots of images of out there of Fallschirnjager and flak units equiped the same as they were in north Africa. But the dreadful weather on the Anzio front for instance sent everyone running for the thermals. Photos show members of the HG division wrapped up very warm against the cold. They look like they could be on the eastern front. I have a pic somewhere of a German para an interesting mix. Baggy Luftwaffe issue tropical pants, and a Heer cold weather woolen pullover.
