German Film Havards

Specifically the paint scheme in "where Eagles Dare"
Some views show White/Swartzgrun, others white/black. The JU52 has White/Dunkelgrun
Any Ideas?

Personally I'd go for green/white, with a black cowling.
Note that they all have a yellow squadron badge, I wonder if the yellow is the original paint of
the Austrian AF T-6Gs they used for the film.

Cool ! Neat action shot.

Best film ever.

As a "realistic" aircraft I assume it's supposed to feature a splinter scheme in RLM 70/71 from above, with light blue (RLM 65) undersides and the white areas added with non-premanent whitewash - and at least this seems to be the case. The yellow emblem somehow looks as if it is a sticker, placed on top of everything? The outlines look rather sharp, even protruding?
One could quibble about the code - this four-letter style would only be applied to aircraft that came directly from the factory (Stammkennzeichen). Operative unit markings for fighters were much different, with singe numbers and symbols. Even bombers had a different code type - four digits, too, but mixed from letters, numbers and with integrated color-codes.

The shield is more likely the base all yellow airframe colour, they just masked off the shield shape and then painted the ersatz cammo.

Best film ever.

I saw Where Eagles Dare at the old Classic in S Croydon. The screen was so small the Ju 52 flew down the right hand wall, across the screen and then along the left hand wall !

A boilerplate version of Cinerama!
