Bundeswehr VW 181 Fleckenplan
The
Bundeswehr (German Federal Army) at one time
started to apply a NATO-standard three-colour Fleckenplan (camouflage
scheme) to all its vehicles.
Around 1983 this standard camouflage scheme
was introduced for the VW 181. Application of the camouflage (often by brush)
was left to the units, but this was later stopped for environmental / health reasons.
From then on VW 181s were only camouflaged when they were repaired at depot level
where they could be painted with the right equipment. Only about 15% of them were
camouflaged.
The copy of the Fleckenplan
for the VW 181 shown below dates from November 1985.
