Battle of the bulge, December 1944
the guy in the backgound on the left carries a Zeltbahn strapped to the D-rings....notice the first MG shooter in the foreground, with MG42, a tan Trommel and a tan pressed cardboard MG pouch...nice

Tunic made of Zeltbahn for this unknown (to me) Ritterkreuzträger....field made or privetaly tailored of course...not a factory garment.

Not a Zeltbahn of course, but a regulation smock of the first type and regulation helmet cover, both bearing the splinter pattern camouflage adopted for the M31 Zeltbahn

Another view of the scarce regulation Heer helmet cover. Not made from Zeltbahn material...but from a thinner white reversible cloth.

That's all folks...! (for the moment)
Not all field made helmet covers were made from Zeltbahn material, some made of russian camo material could be seen as well....
Stalingrad, summer 1942
