Original Item: Only One Available. The German Zeltbahn or Army Tent Quarter was a multi-purpose piece of German army regulation equipment that was issued to Wehrmacht soldiers during WWII. This piece of camouflaged material could be combined with three other to make a proper tent, or other quantities to construct shelters of various sizes, it was also used for camouflage, as a poncho or even a stretcher. This service used example comes in the very attractive reversible German Army Splinter pattern, with over 10 of the plastic type buttons missing, and many others cracked.
The Zeltbahn 31 was developed in 1931 and found its origin in the square Reichswehr tent. It was made of a water repellent material called Makostoff and is imprinted with a camouflage pattern which is also known as Army Splinter Pattern (Heeres Splitter Muster 31), another phrase used was: Buntfarbenaufdruck (colourful print).
This example is in rough overall condition with some small tears along the edges and at seams. This zeltbahn saw a very long service life, but retains a stamped maker’s mark, dnq 41, for manufacture by an unidentified maker in 1941.
