Zeltbahn 31 Oakleaf Shelter Quarter Oak B Camo Poncho by Richard Underwood

German Zeltbahn in Waffen SS Oak B Camouflage by Richard Underwood Militaria.

The Zeltbahn was an advanced piece of kit as it could be used as a rain cape/ poncho and for making any number of different tents/ shelters.

It can often be seen worn as a poncho in the field for camouflage and weather protection.

The Zeltbahn is a multi function item which can be used as a quick wind break by itself or you can fasten two together to make a two sided shelter with the front open to the weather. For a more permanent shelter several can be fastened together in various forms to make various sized tents.

The Zeltbahn could also be used to carry an injured comrade on your back or two can be used to make a stretcher.
