This is a very cool site. I didn't understand the German, so I pointed
Babel
Fish to it. For those who don't know, Babel Fish (named after the
translation
fish in "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy") is part of the Alta Vista
search
engine. It does a whole bunch of language translations.

At any rate, Babel Fish translated the site well enough to read, though
some
of the technical stuff didn't translate (Flecktarnanstrich, for one,
though
you can sort of guess what it is). I smiled at, "The other armed
services (air
Force, Navy, navy Corps) as well as for special vehicles (e.g.
engineering
equipment) apply separate manuals." German grammar doesn't translate
EXACTLY
to English via Babel Fish.

This is a good site, and as Brian said, I didn't realize the "paint by
numbers" aspect of the cammo schemes.
