Steiner Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Folks this has me stumped and I would appreciate anyone's help. Is this medical or transport? It is not a light blue like the airforce nor is it dark blue like water police. It is a medium blue. Please see pictures any and all help appreciated.

Gordon Craig Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Steiner, Your tunic is not DDR. It is Bundeswehr. There are two shades of blue used in the BW and it is difficult to tell from your pictures which branch of the BW Heer this tunic belongs to. The difference in the two shades of blue are small and there is often a dispute on the BDR Forum of the WAF as to which one is pictured.

Steiner Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Gordon I have been barking up the wrong tree. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Kind regards Steiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytop Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi Steiner: "It is a medium blue" That is correct, and it is for the "Technischen Truppe", maintenance or supply and transportation. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Can someone please post a cornflower blue(medical) version, for comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Hi Paul, there are three different blue colours, light, medium and dark blue (hellblau, mittelblau, dunkelblau). On the picture you can see on the left the light blue for the old 'Quartiermeistertruppe', the next one is medium blue for 'Technische Truppe' (old "Feldzeugtruppe"), the two pieces on the right side are dark blue for "Sanitätstruppe" Uwe Edited February 27, 2011 by speedytop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you for the explanation and photo. The colors are so close that I bet that there was confusion, even among their own personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
