Hey History Hustle, I have a question. As someone who became more interested in the Dutch army, partly because I am interested and amazed by the heroism of my countrymen in may 1940, I often find the dutch portraid as a army who didn't even know the consept of camouflage, as their army uniform was "Blue" yet when I look at the actual uniform, it is gray/lightgreen, and the only times they are blue is in colored black and white fotographs or drawings and other artistic renderings. Do you happen to know how this "blue army" stigma came to be? Love your videos btw :)

@Pikkabuu well that might be the case, I meant more that the dutch used a field gray (almost german colored uniform), but are often depicted in paintings and drawings with a blue uniform. And I wondered where that idea came from, eventhought the dutch didn't realy have a blue uniform I did happen to find out the officer uniforms are made of a different material, which has a more blueish/greyish tint to it, causing it to look blue under certain conditions. Maybe thats why.
