Some general information on Zeltbahn tents: The Zeltbahn is a WWI model that was used in WWII, too. It was carried by each German soldier as part of his personal equipment. It was basically a triangular shaped waterproof ‘quarter shelter’. These quarter shelters could be joined together using the metal buttons to make four, eight or sixteen man tents. At the bottom edge of the zeltbahn there were grommets for threading a drawstring and in each corner there were larger grommets for pegs and at the top, one for a tent pole. Each man was also issued with a 2 metre tent rope, a section of tent pole (four sections were joined to make a complete pole) and two tent pegs made of resin, steel or aluminum. These items were carried in a small pouch.
