It's interesting how difficult it was  to nail down something as recent and ubiquitous as Dunkel Gelb.

History is hard.

Had forgotten about these.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Basically, they were often crews who needed 1 or more mission before theor tour of duty was up, but too shellshocked to go, so acting as an assembly craft counted as a mission.
Bright and colourful.
I painted one for a mate once, as he had spares from Tumbling Dice!

Too many German vehicles and not enough Allied ones? Another variation for WW2 modellers/gamers to consider ...

A brilliant blend of an actual recording of a Lancaster crew made in 1943 during a raid on Berlin linked up with some good VR technology:

Hi all

I wanted to notify you of two things I am doing on my YouTube channel.

1) I am going to record and post all of my lectures for the course Diplomatic History that I teach this semester. You can find them here. I apologize for the bad quality, but I promise to make it better.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7qM1ZYRwV_DaSekOxxT53xEP5Lx4AQ8t


2) Inspired by The Great War Youtube series I will make an attempt in providing some coverage along those lines of the Greek-Turkish War 1919-1923. You can follow my efforts (and their inevitable failure) at this link

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7qM1ZYRwV_BBtiZl4fZVUhbknQu9cGQC

With Respect
KTravlos

I think I've tidied up the URLs correctly

I'll have a look as I get a chance :)
