If there's anything adding to a gloomy atmosphere, it's... gloomy colors, somewhat greyish like in this picture.
Personally if I had anything to say about it... I'd rather keep them under-saturated instead of too vivid.
I'd rather keep them just right This undersaturated appearance we are used to associating with WW2 colour images is not how the world looked like back then (just like WW1 wasn't black & white and had people moving at twice the speed). It's okay as an artistic means in certain movies and games, but for a simulation I find it a bad approach.

Not that the grass shouldn't still look dry and barren if that's how it was back in 1940.
