Tiger II "Anneliese" Abt 503, Colours?

Post by Glen B »

Does anyone have any info on the camo on the Abt. 503 Tiger II named Anneliese, that was used in Hungary?

I have seen some pictures that appear to show winter white wash but I am curious to know if there is any info on what was under the white wash.

Peddinghaus has this drawing of a 503 production turret version of the same time frame;

I wonder if this is an accurate depiction of typical colours for the unit, time and location?

Looks like I got a picture form the film of them when they were getting ready to load Abt 503 on the train to Hungary, here's No. 314;

Glen,the first picture seems to match the Peddinghuas Decal Tank? Their are 7 more views of this tank. The second photo is from a series and these may be in Hungary? I'm checking the source information,their are 6 more of these KIng Tigers in the series.

I can post them all if they are helpful? Saxondog
