Thema: Lutzow camouflage in Norway

[Antonio Bonomi]

Ciao all,

been this my first post I take the occasion to say hello to everybody from sunny Italy    

Sorry but like many German friends know I do not speack yet German, but I promise I will start studying it soon,  so I can only read and write in  English with you here in  

Question : does anybody knows or have photos of the Lutzow camouflages while in Norway ?

I have studied 3 camos,  Rosselsprung,  Regenbogen and the Husar one.

For the first 2 I have enough material ( but  everything new is welcome of course    ), while for the 3rd one so the Husar I only have 1 photo in colour of the port ( backbord ) side.

Can anybody help me providing more informations ?

Thanks in advance and  Ciao  Antonio

Hallo Antonio,
ich habe dir dieses Bild per mail geschickt ( in voller Größe ).

Moin, moin!

Könnte es sich bei der angehängten Aufnahme - 1942, Norwegen - um das Gegenstück der Aufnahme von Kalli handeln?

Mit einem lieben Gruß
der Wilfried

PS: Ebenfalls an Antonio per Mail raus...

Ciao Kally, Wilfried and all,

first of all Thanks  ( danke  ) for all your support  

Kalli sent me  and posted here in a photo of Lutzow at the end of 1942 beginning of 1943 with the  Operation Regenbogen camo.
I have called that camo also Even or Intermediate as my friend Even in Norway  ( the owner of the TIRPITZ ALTA MUSEUM )  helped me on finding the right photos of that camo scheme.

Wilfried sent me a photo of the Rosselsprung camo  which was on Lutzow on July 1942  when she run aground in Narvik to be back in Bogen anchorage for repairs.

Lutzow as said had 3 camouflages in Norway :

1) Rosselsprung
2) Regenbogen
3) Husar

I have many photos of the first 2 camos ( any new one is welcome so please send them to me anyhow),  but only 1 photo of the last one which is the Husar and it is in colour from Prager book.

Kalli, can you post  the photo I sent you of the Husar here in and maybe also a photo of the 2 models  of Lutzow  too, that can help  

Thanks and ciao    Antonio

Moin Antonio,

dann wollen wir einmal sehen, ob dies ein Treffer ist?

@T-G,

Ciao Thorsten, Wilfried, Kalli and all,

WUNDERBAR  

YES Thorsten,  ...  very SCHON  !!!!

Now we have 3 photos with all the 3 camouflages of Lutzow in Norway.

As you can all see the Husar was particularly beautiful  and I am looking for other photos of this camouflage in particular.

On the other 2 camouflage we do have either port or starboard photos, so  are known,  but of this last one not yet  

I have made  2 models that are  on the TIRPITZ ALTA MUSEUM in Norway .

One is the Regenbogen   the other the Husar ( making same camo both sides )  so if everybody want to see the photos  I can send them with no problems.

Maybe I can post all the models photos here in too ??  Can I  ??  

Ciao Spee, I was writing, so I did not see your post, ..    but I cannot understand what you  wrote,...  I suppose you are jocking with Kalli,..   he is a Lutzow fan as you know well,...   and he do have photos with my models too,.. very good ones,.. he deserved this and I was honored to take the models out the box and allow him to see them and have some photos with them too.  

He  and his family has been very kind to me and I will never forget this   .

                               Ciao  Antonio

Hi Antonio,

yeah, it's a joke. You have asked Kalli to post the picture and I have pleased Wilfried to post the picture. After that I've wrote, in this case I'm Kalli (now I've coloured my bearth grey    )
