I just use Vallejo Russian Uniform. I used Green Ochre as a base for the helmets, highlighted up to Dark Sand. The German tropical uniform was only a bit greener than the standard grey/green uniform, but the material type faded quite easily in the sun and so often appeared much lighter.

So try a base of Russian Uniform and add small amounts of Khaki for successive highlights. It also doesn't hurt to add in some Dark Sand/Green Ochre or Khaki uniform bits, as it wasn't uncommon for DAK soldiers to replace parts of their kit with Italian uniforms etc.

Hope that helps.
