Polish trucks and guns in 1939

[Sepp]

What color were the vehicles and guns? Did they use the same camo as their tanks or were they a single color? If so can you let me know what it was. Many thanks.

Sepp - According to Steven Zaloga's 'Blitzkrieg, Armor Camoflage and Markings,1939-1940', Polish vehicles were camoflaged in horizontal swatches of light sand grey, dark chestnut brown, and olive green. The brown was the darkest color. The armored vehicles and artillery tractors were camoflaged, with the guns monochrome olive green. All the photographs in the book were black and white, so all I can say for sure is that the vehicles were painted in a camoflage pattern. There's only one photograph that shows a truck in the background, it appears to be a monochrome color, my guess is olive green.
I hope that helps you.

You can see several Polish trucks in this video as they crossed into Rumania to carry on the fight. Lots of variation in camo on the trucks - some have the same horizontal swatches as their tanks did, some have spots! Some are just plain with lots of dirt!
